I'm new at this boating stuff. Just got my first boat last week. 1978 150hp v6 evinrude outboard. According to the previous owner it had been sitting for about a year. From advice from this forum I learned how to test the compression. This is what I have found looking at the back of motor:<br />93/100<br />95/100<br />92/96<br />Are these acceptable? Also I have been able to run the engine, although only at idle. If I engage the drive and give it gas, it bogs down and dies. This is on old gas, however. I have just learned that I should drain the gas and get new. I have purchased a manual and am going to attempt to rebuild the carbs. Is this something I can do myself?<br />Thanks in advance
