I found a 1977 70 hp Johnson, and the compression is 135 135 137<br />Does that sound acceptable?<br /><br />cvlngineer <br /><br />(oops, I logged in with my old username-catfish109tc. I thought I had lost my password for this one.)
Those readings look very good.If you don't have record of the last lower unit service I would change the lube.Hopefully the rest is good to go.<br /> PS I like the redfish pic.
ob,<br /><br />Thanks for the info. The motor will have a complete service before I pick it up. Feel free to use my little redfish if you like, you can link directly to it: http://collegestudent.hypermart.net/page1/little_redfish.gif <br /><br />cvlngineer
