"about to purchase a 98 sea ra
"about to purchase a 98 sea ray 37' with rebuilt 454 mercs, i had the engine compression checked and it checked out well, ran the boat and it ran ok, port engine didnt seem to have the same power the starboard engine had. also at start up and idle it sounds as if there is a slight knock that continues.
it just doesnt sound as good as an engine should sound. reving engine gets up to just under 4000 rpm.
my question is , what could cause this noise or miss, since the engine compression is fine, and it ran ok, no stalling or issues like that, it starts right up? could this be dirty distrubuter? bad fuel injectors? bad computer?
if the compression is good, and boat ran ok, what could this be. also the engine oil was clean and the way it should look, when compression was done all the plugs were replaced, air clearners cleaned and it still sounded the same.
any recomendations? or help would be appreciated."
