Re: Markings on the block?
Absolutely, I would have to test it myself. I don't know if he's got it on a boat or in his garage, but $250 sounds like a steal, even for the parts. Currently I have 1999 Force 120 with bad compression on one cylinder. I'm not Froce shopping either, I threw an ad out there stating that I need a mechanic or an outboard and his was one of my replies. A very interesting reply though. I'll probably give the guy a call and ask him some questions. I just wasn't sure if "marking on the block" meant something that I should know about or not. I would test the compression myself on anything, no sense in replacing a 99 with bad compression for a 94 with bad compression. I've still been able to run mine, but it floods out after a while and then I have to drop anchor for a bit before I can head back in (fresh water only).
If I do get this guys engine, my cables and power tilt shoud be compatable with his right?
