225 evinrude compression

[elwilliams13]

Just did a compression test on my 91 evinrude 225 after the decarb. It read 85 psi across all 6 cylinders. How many more hours you think left before an overhaul? It runs good as is. Would I need the complete kit or just re-ring it?

Hard to tell. But I´ve read in several posts that these V6 have stock compression around 90. <br /><br />85 should be no problem at all, then.<br /><br />Someone with more knowledge in V6 will second or correct me.

Compression mumbers depend a lot on the heads that are on it but I would agree youre good to go. Run it long enough to make sure you get all the decarb fluid out.<br /><br />Good luck!

they did have a low compression cylinder head kit #433553, for that year.<br />i would think that if you are even across all cylinders & it runs great, dont worry about it.<br /><br />someone with more knowledge should pick this up.
