1988 Evinrude 225 experts needed!

[Stillrunning]

I have a 1994 Johnson which is probably not much different as far as technology as the 1988. Mine has been pretty much trouble free and I think I have spent about 1,250 on the engine and alot of that was a carb job. Do you know if a carb job was done when a new power head was put on? Clogged carbs are the down fall of most engines as they run lean and burn up the cyl. I would test the compression and if thats reads good then you should be fine and if a carb. job was not done do that before you do anything else.
