New (to me) Motors

Picked up an 84' Robalo 2660 walk-around with twin 06' Evinrude 150 DIs. Haven't picked it up yet, but I know one motor runs and the other doesn't.

Any general commentary on these engines to help my troubleshooting efforts? The boat was nearly free, so even with a dead engine I'm happy.

Thanks!

You can do basic compression test and spark test on the non-running engine. If the problems go beyond that for a DYI you're going to need an Evinrude USB communication cable and diagnostic software.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Just ordered the cable.

Any other replies appreciated.
