    1992 120hp Force Opinion on compression

    Hey guys, a friend is looking at a 1992 120hp Force outboard, sitting on a 1992 maxum. He can pick it up for really cheap. It doesn't have spark but turns out it's just the emergency kill switch. Now there's spark to the motor but it's weak so chances are it's a regulator or a stator. That's not...
