Hi, was out in the boat yesterday after recently getting some work done and spark plugs replaced. Before spark plugs 2 and 5 had gone bad per the shop. After replacing the boat was flying out of the hole and ran well. However on the way in at WOT, the motor died. After looking at the compression on each cylinder, cylinders 3 and 4 have 0 compression.
i know this basically means this motor is shot.
I have a couple questions.
What would suddenly cause both 3 and 4 to go out? both are middle cylinders. I can definitely see the pistons are moving in 3 and 4. Picture of 3 spark plug is below?
Also, this is an older 87 champion that I recently had re carpeted, reupholstered, new trailer, etc. I have 7k in the update
Am I better off getting the motor overhauled? Any thoughts on what that cost?
Is there cheaper or better alternatives then getting this motor overhauled? Perhaps a second hand motor from a motor exchange?
Looking for any advice and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
