Just an update got some fresh non-ethanol gas. Worked on the link and sync got the motor running very nicely on 1 cylinder it idles and revs very nicely so I am happy that was a blessing. I did a running compression check after I ran the motor for like 25 minutes it was 110lbs on the bottom. I looked at the plug on bottom cylinder a few times it looks like it has water in it. I am going to talk to the owner hopefully 2 morrow and see if he wants to spend the money on the gasket kit I don’t think it could hurt. I went to my buddies but he has to order them separate he gets his from a place here called pro-marine. I would rather order them all especially if we decide to do a powerhead swap or something along those lines.
I believe what he told me was he had purchased the motor and then mixed to much oil in his fuel. He then took it to a place. I think the motor may have been running like it is now and to someone that does not know any better would think its a good running motor.
Thanks everyone for the help. Mumbles, Bill, and Fleetwin. I will keep you posted.
Joe
