I have a 1984 70 hp Evenrude. For the past few weeks, when I would try to plane off my engine was sluggish, then would take off like normal. All day would be ok. Next day same thing in the morning, then would open up and run normal. This time was running normal then started running sluggish in the middle of the day. Checked compression on cylinder 1 (140 PSi) Clyinder 2 (135 PSI.) no compression on Cyl. 3. Could a busted head gasket cause this?
