I'll get the compression numbers but last time we checked they were fine. The motor starts fine and easy and doesn't die consistently upon start up. It just takes a few minutes to warm up. It does have the VRO still hooked up and it appears to work fine and the motor does GREAT overall, I just feel like the idling is slightly off.
Maybe the engine is still being broken in from the ring job my dad did? He pulled out the pistons and cleaned the cylinders and whatever else, I'm sorry I don't know what all he did. He did clean and maybe (rebuild) the carbs as well. For all intents and purposes this is a brand new engine I would think. We had a new fuel (oil?) pump put in at a marine service shop.
I will have to get my father to check the idling and see what it's set to and report back.
It doesn't smoke at all at idle when it's warmed up but when I first start it up it gets the usual smoke but quickly goes away.
