    I have restored and still run numerous OMC 18’s. 95 PSI is too low to run decent. You need 115- 125 PSI for that powerhead. The order of priorities for restoring any motor to good running is Compression, Ignition, then Carburation in that order. Until you resolve the compression issue the rest is a waste of time and money. Good luck.
