    How many very new 4 stroke engines will be running trouble free at age 50 to 75 years old ?

    2007 40hp Merc carb and compression questions

    Just looked up compression numbers for a 2007 four stroke outboard....Over 150 psi on each cylinder according to a video. I would double check your compression gage or try another one.

    Neither service is worth a crap in our area, and newspapers are gone. Selling personal items has become a real chore in my area.
