The problem with the run on the stand or ear muffs is until you put them in the water with a gear case and prop, in gear under load, then is when you find out the bores are all tapered and it doesn't run worth a can of beans.

Actually the compression testing is just a preliminary test, should be followed up by a leak down test. The two go hand in hand.
As a side note, you will get a better picture of the leak down test if you do it an inch or less from TDC. You'll have to hold the flywheel steady as the compressed air used will try and push the piston down.
Idea being to get the rings out of the top part of ring travel.

I agree with assesment that a leak down test would provide a clearer picture of motor condition. But since i already bought the gear case, I'll skip that tedt and proceed directly to the "blow it up on the water" test.

I bet you will like the 2.3 gear ratio better anyway. Nice looking lower unit and hamburger. I could use both. I did the math backwards. Going from 1.78 to 2.3 means your 15 pitch prop will need to be 19p now to turn the same RPM and speed. Find a 19p.
Good luck to you.L6fan57-88

Been a little while since I posted anything about this motor. In this video I decide to examine the condition of the pump impeller on my replacement gear case. Sure am glad I did! Looks like the last person in there installed the impeller housing improperly. I wonder if that's why the guy I got it from said it came of a junk powerhead?

Well winter has arrived in New England, so testing out the Tower of Power on the water will have to wait. This will be the last video for a little while.
In other news, I was recently given to Suzuki DT150's that need work. Should make for an interesting project down the road.
