    1978 Johnson 75hp compression

    I'll return gauge and get a loaner from auto parts store. I did as the manual said and tested on muffs. People locally have said I didn't have to check compression on a hose. This true?

    1978 Johnson 75hp compression

    Also I've read after compression check, to spray wd40 in cylinders and test again. Is that something, I should also do?

    1978 Johnson 75hp compression

    Just traded for a boat, with 1978 Johnson 75hp. Checked compression all 3 cylinders have 80psi. boat will run in cooler temps once it gets up in the hot part of day it bogs down at 3000rpm and will not plane. Is 80psi the problem?
