what is the lowest compression reading acceptable for a 98 yamaha 70BETO outboard
Optional Information: Make (of engine): yamaha Model (of engine): 70BETO Year: 98 Horsepower: 70
Usually they will be around 120 psi but it matters more that each cylinder is within 10% of each other any more and its considered to have damage to the piston, rings, or cylinder. example If #1 cylinder is 120 psi #2 is 115 and number 3 is 100 psi your looking at a problem on cylinder 3
so a reading of 116 psi across all cylinders would be acceptable for a motor of that age
