I am going to take a look at a1970 Evinrude 9.5 hp for possible purchase.
The motor is non running. Owner claims it will start than sputter than die out. Ok, so this sounds to be fuel issue? I told present owner that I would like to take a compression test. He is fine with that. By way of pics I seen of it for now it looks clean under the hood. Fresh water motor. My question is what would be a minimum compression amount that it should have before I would go any further. Motor is fairly priced for non running.
Thanks for any input on the matter. Don
