[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 450283, member: 13140"] I drug home another 15 Evinrude yesterday and it came with a free 1970ish 9.5 johnson. The 9.5 was in good shape and it had good spark. No start so I cleaned the carb. No start and no compression. I soaked the cylinders overnight in sea foam and still no start. Pulled the head and the gasket was good so I kept spraying the pistons and thumped them with a soft leather mallet to free the rings. The sea foam is weak but after a day of soaking and thumping it fires on the first pull. I would have thought the carbon on the piston would whipe right off with all the soaking but not even close.
