    2005 2.5XS For Sale no compression cylinder #5

    Wondering if there would be any interest in my 2005 Mercury Racing 2.5XS. Has 90 original hours. This motor came on my 2005 Allison XB21 Prosport and had 72 hours when I bought it last November. When I got the engine I cleaned out the fuel system best I could, had fuel and air injector cleaned and flowed, new fuel filter. But this past weekend I somehow leaned out cylinder #5. Other 5 cylinders still show good compression. Engine is not locked up and it will still idle. Guessing I burned a hole in #5 piston. Looking to sell everything minus the sportmaster for $1750 or complete with 1.87 sportmaster recently tore down inspected and resealed for $4250. Has 2017-2018 style cowl decals. I will get more pictures this afternoon. Located in Clovis, New Mexico. Happy to put it on a pallet to freight ship.
