Just did a compression test on my low hours 1992 Yamaha 5C (5hp single cylinder 2 stroke). I got 140 PSI (cold motor, WOT). I think 140 PSI is great, but I don't know what they had when they were new. Anyone who knows if the compression of my motor is good?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
A few days ago I bought some new motors to work on. One is a 1955 Johnson 3hp and the other is a repainted 1965 evinrude Lightwin, I paid 50 euro's (about $60) for both. The guy told me that the Johnson runs, but I haven't tested it yet.
Both outboards has a little bit low compression...
Hello,
Today I got my 1957 Evinrude Lightwin long shaft running. After allmost a year of fixing stupid little things, I have my motor running well now.
It has good compression and has a great idle.

Hello, I'm new here on this forum.
I have a question: Does anybody have a owners manual for the Johnson CD-15 (5.5hp, 1958) in pdf?
