Thanks. Typically is low compression on these the result of a head gasket or piston/rings/hone
Some people report lower .

Interesting. The motor is a E70ELCNB. 1982 3 cyl. What do you see compression typically at?
It’s a shop manual I got from a forum. It seems pretty accurate. The cover is red and grey and says “Evinrude Johnson Outboard Shop Manual”
Youre correct it is a 1982. I forgot to update this.
I’m not implying they stick closed. I’m implying that they are stuck open and the top cylinder is the worst. You can see in the videos the light shinnng through.
I just don’t know how “bad” that’s considered and I’d that amount of spacing...
I did perform resistance tests and all coil packs look good. I purchased the components needed to make a DVA so I can do peak voltage tests. Once I get my reeds I’ll put it back together and do an air gap test. I assume just take the plug out, ground it, and see if it sparks.
That is one of...
I think my reeds are shot.
So here's where I am guys.... Cleaned and dipped the top and bottom carb. Not sure if it's due to increased idle but the top cylinder *can* hold it's own (still not as good as the middle). Bottom will not hold it's own. When I say hold it's own I mean run only on one...
I do have spark on those two, I just carefully grabbed them at the end of the boot and pulled it back which is why I didn't get shocked.
I purchased a spark tester from autozone and put it inline. All 3 cylinders you can see a light.
I personally got a healthy shock from the bottom one. You...
Symptoms are as follows
Idles fine at 800 RPMs however when put in gear the engine bogs out. To get it to not bog under light load I have to set the idle very high. The motor will then idle at 700-800 RPM in the tank but scream on muffs. If I do not adjust the idle very high it will run fine...
