Just got an '85 22' Starcraft w/ original '85 Merc 115 & Merc 7.5 on it. Both run well and compression on the 115's 6 cylinders range from 133 to 139. The 7.5's 2 cylinders are 124 & 127. This is pretty darn good compression, I think.
What would have been the '85 factory compression on these?
Is there anything I should be aware of with these engines?
Thanks, Beached
