    Engine sitting for many years. What to check?

    Compression tester from parts store was junk. I Tested it against my 70hp which I know all the cylinders are 110-120 as I checked them last fall with a borrowed tester. and the new one wouldn't read over 60psi . Replacement also junk did the same thing. Ive had this happen before and I'm pretty...

    Engine sitting for many years. What to check?

    Solution to keeping it happy would be run a higher octane in the engine? I only run the Evinrude oil. Should I do a decarb on this motor from the get go? This engine really is just a temporary swap until my intruder gets it's water intrusion issues repaired. Then it's going back on. But I do...

    Engine sitting for many years. What to check?

    I'll have to grab a local tester then. Just mose of these store brands are junk nowadays. Like I say. Even just spinning the engine over without the starter it had enough compression to blow my finger off of each hole. And the cranking sounded nice and even. How common is this ring issue? I...

    Engine sitting for many years. What to check?

    Just picked up a 87 Evinrude 150hp extremely cheap. Guy has had it off the boat on a stand for quite a few years. Said he fogged it down good before hand. I got it home. Pulled the plugs and shot some oil into all the cylinders and rotated it over by hand a few revolutions. Then more oil. Then...

    Yeah Jason said the heads probably wouldn't/shouldn't need resurfaced. And okay I wasn't sure if that damaged even if cleaned up would cause detonation issues itself

    They're .020 the pistons are stamped. And rod alignment tool? Got a part number for the tool? And I know number 1 gets a new sleeve after the repair. I'm anticipating number 6 needing a sleeve. It MIGHT clean up but I'm just gonna go ahead and budget for a sleeve

    So I took the heads off. There's still crosshatch in the bores, but some scoring as well. The number 1 cyl looks great. Now the left bank bottom cylinder is concerning. What I did find was scoring more than the usual. And the cylinder head is beat up. Like something was beating around in the...

    Evinrude intruder water in cyl info?

    Talked to him today. And honestly the prices aren't nearly as bad as I thought. I still have to test the whole power head down to the block which is kinda intimidating, but it's hopefully something I can get done.

    Well the engine didn't run hot from what I ran it today. But I did notice some crap seeping from the thermostat plugs?( Prior to me running it) I would think the cost of repairing the issue would just far exceeded picking up another good used engine? And does anyone still do this repair?

    Recently bought a javelin with a 1992 Evinrude 150 on it. Wasn't running when I bought it. But the gas was clearly bad. So i get it running. Fresh gas. Clean the carbs. Ta da it's a runner. Today was my first day out with it on water. It ran pretty good! Then. It didn't. Then it would run...
