    I just got done going through a 1971 2hp Evinrude. It had been left out in the weather and was a rusty mess. The only reason I didn’t give up on it is it has good compression, 110psi, and that is at 4800 ft elevation. I just started it up yesterday for the first time and it runs good. I guess these things normally have high compression.

    Yes they are funny little motors. I have an HD-25 2.5hp that starts and runs like a dream on 70psi. This one couldn’t get it to fart at that.
