lets turn it around. If you bought an engine from a dealer that told you it was an old engine, that was corroded and worn. What would you expect? If you were going to buy it you would have asked for a compression test from the dealer or done it yourself to give you an idea of what condition the engine was in. If you found the engine was low on compression after the fact, do you think the dealer would give you your money back on a $500 engine? I've never seen any one give a warranty on a used outboard unless they just rebuilt it. If I were the dealer, I would not have tried to sell the motor if it was in that kind of condition any way. $500 motors don't get any kind of warranty regardless. Lowr unit will easily bring $500, carbs will fetch $100, ignition components will bring another $100. Did the get a prop with it also? If I were the dealer, I would not have expected the motor to be in resell able condition for $500 value. Tell them to put a can of powertune in the cylinder and restest. The motor on my proline was at 60 lbs(all other were 115). I power tuned it and it came back up
