What should compression be on a Johnson 150 fast strike?
Test the compression on it, cylinders should be in the ballpark of 85 to 100 psi with less then a 10% variance across the board.
What happens when a boat motor loses compression?
If there is a failure with your piston, it is not going to result in the correct compression of the air and fuel that is being mixed. If that mixture isn’t compressed correctly; the spark will not ignite it and your engine will probably not run at all; although if it is running; it is not going to be running well.
What causes low compression on a 15 hp Johnson?
It allows the rings to free up in the grooves so they more closely follow the cylinder walls. low compression is also cause from stuck rings, in there seats on the piston, debarbing removes the crap sticking the rings. it’s worth $10.00 to try it before tearing into the motor.

What should the PSI be on an outboard compression test?
Results vary depending on whether the outboard is a Four-Stroke or a Two-Stroke. Good results for Four-Strokes should be 180-210 PSI, and Two-Strokes should be around 110-130 PSI. Here is everything that you need to know about outboard compression tests. How to do them and what the results mean for you! What Is A Compression Test?
When did the Johnson 9.5 hp outboard come out?
Johnson, Evinrude, OMC, outboard motor, outboard motor repair, 9.5 hp, date/year of manufacture, water pump, carburetor, Maintaining Johnson/Evinrude 9.5 hp 2 cycle outboards 1964 – 1973 (Information & normal repairs)

What’s the compression range on a Mercury 25 HP cylinder?
They not only vary from the reporting individual but from manufacturer to manufacturer. For instance, a fully functional Mercury 25 Hp cylinder compression value may be significantly different than that of a Johnson 25 Hp. Its also rather hard to find where a manufacturer will say the compression range should be from this psi to that psi.
What should the compression be on an Evinrude crank?
However if you watch the end my video below you will see that my 1979 Evinrude 6 Hp cranks easily cold ( 2 pulls) with 60 psi compression This source says the older two stroke outboards below 25 Hp should be between 75 and 85 psi. This source seems to confirm with my understanding that 60 psi in older outboards can sometimes be OK.
What’s the compression reading on a 1996 Johnson 9.9?
I have a 1996 Johnson 9.9 that was overheated at one time. The compression reading now is 60lbs on both cylinders. It has a hard time starting and wont stay running for long.
