[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 399787, member: 3278"] Will throw in one tip for you and let others fill in the rest. Am assuming we are speaking of a 2-stroke purchase? Lets also assume since you are talking about a first time purchaser and that he has little knowledge and no test equipment. I have had this question asked of me so many times that, if I had a dollar for every time.....and you know the rest of that sentence. [size=5] TIP #1 - The best test of a potential buy in a 2-stroke engine is that it will achieve a slow steady idle, in gear, on the boat and in the water. [/size] Knowing what it takes to achieve this (good compression, good air fuel ratio, good ignition system) will put the purchaser far ahead in his confidence level on the purchase. From that starting point acceleration can be checked, shifting, unusual noises, visual condition, and whatever else you feel is important..........etc. [/QUOTE]
