    Does compression determine horsepower???

    I purchased a 1994 Yamaha 130 for my bass boat. It runs great. I got a Yamaha service manual for it and the specs show that a 130 should have between 134psi and 164psi. I had a compression test done on it before I bought it and it was 125, 129, 130,134. Will this motor be able to produce 130...

    Prop for old Merc

    Does anyone know if anyone still sells props for old Mercs? I need one for a 1972 merc 50hp. 11 splines, an 11" or 12" pitch will work. The part number on the old prop is 48-32186A1-12.

    Looking to repower my 18' V-King, found a 1983 235hp Evinrude that has a rebuilt powerhead. What are the pros and cons someone can expect from this model? Did it really produce two hundred and thirty-five horse power?

    1985 Mercury 90hp in-line six compression

    A friend got a 1985 Mercury in-line 6. I tested the compression for him and was surprised that all six cylinders were over 150lbs. Is this normal for these old tower of powers? It doesn't look like its been cracked open and rebuilt.

    1988 Merc 220 xri...maybe a dumb fuel injector question?

    Are they difficult to replace? I found a different v-6 efi from the same year range that had an oil injection failure, but has 6 "good" fuel injectors?

    1988 Merc 220 xri...maybe a dumb fuel injector question?

    Got a 1988 Merc 220 xri thats running like its a 5 cylinder instead of a six. Spark is good but I think the #6 cylinder isn't getting fuel? Is this possible on a efi? Does each injector feed each cylinder? This will be my first time working on an efi so I'm alittle green...

    1997 35HP Johnson won't idle...needs rich/lean screw adjustment.

    motor sounds like its flooding, won't run for long and dies. i don't have the air silencer hooked up and when i tilted the motor up, quite a bit of fuel poured out of the drain tube for the air box...does this sound like a reed issue?

    1994 Yamaha 130hp push to choke ignition won't work...

    Got a 1994 130hp Yamaha 2-stroke, model 130TLRS, that I rigging in a bass boat. I prefer the "push to choke" style key switch. So I got one, 703-82510-43-00, connected each wire to the matching color wire but no luck. The motor will turn over but thinks the kill switch lanyard is off. No spark...

    1997 35hp Johnson loses spark???

    1997 35hp Johnson model J35QLEUR seems to be losing spark somehow. After its been sitting awhile, maybe after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, it will start. Sometimes run for a minute, sometimes just a few seconds...then stop like it was turned off. When I try starting it again...

    1997 35HP Johnson won't idle...needs rich/lean screw adjustment.

    Replaced the head gasket o-rings and torqued the head bolts to 20lbs. Now it has 130 psi on each hole.
