Ok so I found this out. I bought an aluminum boat that came w a 1982 Johnson 25. Didn’t know anything about it. I was told I couldn’t get parts for it. So I sold it for $100. I asked the guy about compression and he said it runs and has 95psi in both cylinders. So. That sucks. Shouldn’t have...
Understood. ✔️
Now, the question is: is 75 psi on a 1990 Johnson 25 2 stroke “good” “bad” or “really bad” at 5,200 feet of elevation. That’s the real question here.
Understood.
Now I just need to know what “good” or “acceptable” compression is at sea level for my motor. Once I know that, I’ll know what “good” or “acceptable” compression is for that motor at 5,200 feet.
Amigos,
First question is what is good compression for this motor at sea level? AI/google giving me two different answers, the first being 80-90 and the other being 90-105. So, what IS the right answer?
Second, at higher elevation should compression read lower? I've spoken to a racecar...
