I have a 1986 Evinrude 90hp, V4 that I would like to get running better. Right now it runs ok, but smokes alot! and is very hard to start. What is the first place to look? As far as I know the engine has never been rebuilt and seems to have good power once you get it going, but the guy I bought the boat from said he could get it going about 40-45 mph, all I have been able to get is about 30-35. This could just be speedometer related, and 30 is plenty fast for me but I thought it could be a sign of compression going bad? <br />The engine is not using the oil injector, the fuel pump has been replaced with a standard pump and I am mixing at 50:1. <br />Thanks for any help you can provide.
