[QUOTE="Gator McClusky, post: 283786, member: 9986"] Yeah, I read where the compression was low but I also read that it should still run fine for a good while. I am using this motor to get educated mainly. I will more than likely do a complete rebuild in the future once I use it a while or until it last. What I read was 60# on the cylinders would be to low, but 80# should be ok and that 100# is ideal. It's a gamble but this motor will be good for to troll in the 16' jon boat in the shallows of the Congaree River. It's a gamble and I may wind up finding a similar motor and having spare parts. I'm no outboard mechanic but doing hvac work gets old and I like tinkering with something new. thanks for the help and please feel free to offer more advice in the future as this may take a while.
