I Am Purchasing A 1976 Duranautic Offshore 16 With Center Console And 1976 Mercury 50 Hp. I Checked Compression Of Motor And Got 120,132,120,125, Are These Good Numbers? Spark Is Strong On All 4 Cylinders When Checking. I Didnt Start Motor And Hasnt Run In 3 Years, I Need Some Advice On What To Do To Get Motor Going. Should I Just Throw Some New Plugs In And Start With Fresh Gas? Do I Need To Disassemble Carbs? Is This Motor Any Good? Anyone Know What Top Rpm Should Be? Thanks
