Let's start with the whole story here . I traded a non running street bike that I had put 80000 miles on for a 1978 17' Wilson hydra sport bass boat with a 1981 75hp evinrude sport model no E75TRLCIM . I new from the get go that the boat had to have new stringers and transom and cosmetic work done to it (been working on it for 3 years) .when I traded the po told me he had run the motor on a private lake( last time a couple weeks before I traded him) but was never able to really open it up much do to lake being small. I brought boat home hooked up battery and could get motor to fire but not stay running. Started to check it out more and realized that timing base assembly was broke at the linkage tab tore it down and did some welding repairs to tab. Reasembled and motor started up and ran but had a problem with choke assembly but that's for another time. It ran but can never tell how well motor actually runs just hooked up to a garden hose with no back pressure. I foged motor and winterized it knowing it would be a couple years before I got back to it and pulled it off boat and hung it on motor stand. That brings us up to today I went out and picked it up off the farm where it was being stored today and brought it home. I'm wanting to start going through it now while I'm waiting on more fiberglass supplies. So needing to know if anyone has any info on this motor or any online resource for getting compression specs and the likes. Thanks in advance to anyone with info.
