    compression numbers on 1992 Force 90HP

    I did a cold(not right I know, didn't have muffs with me) compression check on my 90HP 1992 Force. 110 120 120 Is this good, bad, OK? I'm thinking about doing a decarb with seafoam in the 1 gallon tank I saw on the other sticky thread. should I see better after that?
