[QUOTE="Loggerhead Mike, post: 243117, member: 774"] I want to see the motor run in a barrel not muffs, that way its under a load. A compression test is always good but not everybody has the guages to do so The color of a spark plug can tell you a lot about a motor. Check lower unit oil for water I pay attention to how much wear are on the bolts threwout the motor. Will give u an idear of how many times its been taken apart. When you see adds like " needs minor work " run away [/QUOTE]
