What's so odd about it? The remote control might be worth more than the whole motor.

Do you have a model number? Two types of electric shift were used. I have a brand new remote control for the earlier type if you want to talk.

You are pushing it on the compression readings. They should not be no more than 15 psi apart. The engine will be hard to tune if they are.

I think it is odd - to get three readings on a four cylinder engine.

Was the engine warmed up when you took those readings?
