Re: Evinrude Lightwin problems

CajunCook1, those compression numbers were after the first unsuccessful try run, with the recoil starter. Dry compression test came in at exactly 90psi on both cylinders, so that isn’t an issue. New base gasket has been installed so exhaust and oil isn’t spraying out from between the powerhead and leg. I am waiting a bit so the thread locker I put on the reed valve screws can cure so they still don’t vibrate loose, is there a specific setting for the reeds (as in how far they open or something along those lines) I nee to know about? Because right now they are back together the same way I took them apart(except a lot cleaner) 😎

Anything else important I should know or check before the test run tomorrow?
(FYI as I am in Australia that is why I say tomorrow as its 9.20 at night right now!)

Thanks again for all the help

Cheers
