"I have a 1965 3 hp evinrude.
"I have a 1965 3 hp evinrude. I was wondering what it should be reading for compression in its prime? Today I was showing 45 psi on the bottom and 55 on the top. I have always heard you don't want more than a 10% fluctuation between the two? In your opinion is this still capable of being a strong runner? I am looking at restoring it enough to use it, it has been sitting for years.
Also, the needle adjustment has no stop on it, it just keeps turning and turning, is it supposed to do that?"
