I have a 1985 Bayliner with 85 HP Outboard, seems to run good, but feels like a miss, on one of the three cylinders. One cylinder, the plug looks different. I replaced the plugs, and that particular coil. Still a miss. I'm thinking power head or reed valves.
Three questions, any ideas, and any recommendations on an older boat for a mechanic shop? Is there a way to test compression on a 2 stroke?
It is a Force One (I think it labeled US Marine) 2 cycle outboad. Almost feels like an unbalance prop, rather than a miss, but I had the prop balanced.
This is probably not the place for this post, but I'm not sure where else.
