[QUOTE="shooter5635, post: 424433, member: 21771"] I'm looking at picking up a '79 Johnson 35hp. I'm mechanically inclined, but most of my experience is with cars and trucks. What should I check prior to laying cash on the table for the motor? Obvious things to check: -Starts easily and runs - Compression (hopefully he'll let me hook up a compression gauge) - Check LU oil for water contamination Any other tips? It'd be greatly appreciated.
