    Weather was a challenge but I managed to compression test this morning before I left for work. Working from port side down and then starboard side down below are the readings: P1 - 94 S1 - 93 P2 - 93 S2 - 91 P3 - 92 S3 - 90

    1984 185HP Evinrude Won't rev past 2000 rpms

    I have a new to me 1984 Evinrude 185HP outboard on my 19 foot Grady White boat. I have struggled with getting any reliable performance out of this motor this whole season.
