85 johnson 40 hp compression

[CU2NITE]

I checked my compression and the top is 129 and the bottom is 142 is this a bad reading? She still seems to run pretty good.<br />Thank you<br />CU<br /><br />--------------------<br />RUNNING THE MOTOR WHILE LISTENING TO THE HORN WILL MAKE YOU MORN!!

That's fine, CU2NITE.<br /><br />The important number is the difference. . .13psi in your case. Anything less than 15% is good.
