Want this question answered?
I should be equal on all cylenders and about 110 to 120
125 is the least
between 90-120
110
A 150 hp Mercury, serial number 5976483, is a 1982 year model.
The 150 hp Force outboard requires a 50:1 fuel to oil ratio.
I have a 2005 and compression should be close to 120 psi. Normally a good engine will have compression between 115 and 130 psi but a leak down test should be performed also to know the full condition of a cylinder.
In the early 1970's, when you could still get good gasoline, outboard compression in the 180-190 psi range was common. If your 65 hp Johnson is running in the 100-150 psi range, this would be acceptable, and the engine should still perform well on todays fuel. The important thing to note with compression readings however, is that the difference between the highest and lowest reading, is no more than 15 psi. One more note, avoid fuels containing alcohol if at all possible.l
The dry weight of the 1991 model, Johnson 150hp outboard is 384 lbs.
