1976 Evinrude 135 Running Video. Does is sound right?

[ocb_dave_ocb]

I finally made a short video of my 76' 135 Rude.. Can you all listen to it and see if it sounds right. I have never owned a boat before, I have been on a few/drove a few but the motor was in the lake..

If you all can just click the link and have a listen, video is 30 seconds long..

Thank you all for your help, you guys are great here at Iboats.

It sounds normal, but you can't tell when running on a hose. You have to have a load on the engine to tell by the sound.

Thanks for the reply, as soon as it gets warm enough for boating, we will take it out to the water and try her out.. I cant wait till warm weather..

I compression tested it today here are my numbers:

#1-130psi
#2-130psi
#3-125psi
#4-135psi

Those numbers look really good to me for a 32 year old motor.. I cant wait to take this thing out on the water..
