"thanks a bunch for the response. the compression test came back 110 on the top 115 on bottom. i guess that's ok? and just to make sure the fuel mix on that engine should be 50 to 1 correct? at least that is what i found on the internet, before finding this sight....thanks goodness..lots of great info..thank you guys a bunch..you guys should add a few links for the medical, accountants, lawyers ( well maybe not them), and other who don't know much about boats but are experts in other fields, to help you guys with questions you might have about other things so we may repay you with info/help and good as yours...

thanks again"
