    DeCarbing Was A Bad Thing???

    As i said in a earlier thread i checked the compression on my 1987 70hsp Johnson & the 3 clyinders varied from 135 - 150 - I just checked again after a fairly goog decarb job & all 3 dropped compression but now all 3 are at almost exactly 120 :confused: Is this good or bad???
