    Johnson 85hp low compression on one cylinder.

    I have a 1978 Johnson Javelin 85hp. Compression is 116, 115, 115, and 100. The motor runs and works pretty well. Top speed of 37mph with a 17 pitch aluminum prop. Top rpm is 4500 even. Should I adjust the throttle linkage? Does it NEED a new ring kit or piston??? Should I just use it as is?
