[QUOTE="mtnwkr, post: 371890, member: 4651"] I have the opportunity to pick up a '72/73 25hp long shaft, tiller, Johnson for $cheap. It's been sitting and barely runs, but did run well before sitting, or so I'm told. The compression readings are 115 on the top and 110 on the bottom. Does this sound OK? It would need the carb rebuilt along with tune-up, water pump, probably seals, lower lube change, etc. I don't want to put the money into it if it's not going to be great when I'm done, I'd rather spend more if it's necessary. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
