Hello, i have been looking for a used outboard for cheap.. Im doing a budget resto on an older ski boat.
Anyhow, i currently have an 85 evinrude on it, but most people with these boats love running the merc 115 tower of power.
I found one used (1975??) on a boat nearby and the guy has it for sale cheap. Im going to try and go look at it tomorrow, but my question is.
I DONT HAVE A COMPRESSION TESTER, and was wanting to know of anything that is "known" to be an easy problem found with them? Something that i could tell just by looking at it? I plan on bringing a charged battery to see if it cranks at all....
Thanks
