    99 johnson 225, low compression on one cylinder, possible to fix it?

    99 Johnson 225, J225PLEEC
    Mechanic says I have 90-105 compression on five cylinders and 70 on the other. Can I run it this way? Do I need a complete rebuild? I'm gonna do a decarb and cross my fingers. Can you fix only one cylinder?

    Your on the right track.... Try the decarb first, then get the compression numbers with it hot..... if that don't fix it, you don't need to run it... get it fixed and save some money whiule it is still together... and yes, you can fix the one cylinder and it will be fine...
