Compression

"Hi(noobie),
I am buy

"Hi(noobie),
I am buying a '98 200 mariner with carbs 2.5Offshore.
I was told it could be a low compression engine?
Does this ring any bells?
Anyway it was tested warm but not been run for two years.
The numbers are 84, 87, 91, 91, 91, 92
I have been told the numbers themselves are not as important as them being within 10-15% of eachother.
Do these numbers seem OK?????
thanks for any help
Joe"

"u should see 10% to the adjac

"u should see 10% to the adjacent cylinders
try adding oil to each one and keep the spark plugs in also, see if that changed anything"
