Thanks for all your help with a motor that was destined for a salvage yard. I bought carb kits for 3 double carburetors, dismantled them, soaked them in a gallon cleaner kit from Advanced Auto, put it all back together having help from pics I took. I changed the primer solonoid and I used fresh gas and evinrude 2 stroke oil. For the first time since I owned this boat it started on the first turn of the key. I didn't have time to do another compression test but I will.
However, once it started after using the primer bulb, it would stall after running for a minute. I would prime, start, run til it stalled continuously. Next questions or advice: Should I change the vro pump which mixes the fuel and oil? It's not a cheap part but i don't know if there is anything else I should troubleshoot or test first. it has all new fuel lines and fuel filter.
Thanks again
