I bought this as a project boat, but not sure I wanted a complete motor teardown and rebuild (have never done one and not sure I have the time).
It needed a starter, done.
With a fully charges battery (13.1 on the meter), manifold on exhaust disconnected, it gives a couple of turn of the motor, a couple of bangs with black smoke and then some white smoke. Definitely not turning over at full speed and quickly killing the battery.
Turns over without plug.
With the plugs out, engine cold 150-140-140 compression.
If I can not make progress, I will probably sell it off as to someone as a project. Any ideas?
