Re: 1957 Evinrude 7.5 Compression
Put it in New River Sat.Started&idled smoother than my newer motors.Power on top end was low.I would guess it was putting out 4-5HP.I found the no-fire problem,the sparkplug wire at the coil end was heavily corroded.i also put in new points&condensors.Still it does good for it`s age.
I also did the de-carb thing.The compression dropped 5 lbs right after,it may have gained that back after running it hard,don`t know.
Thanks all,Dizz
