By chance was there an issue with the lower crank bearing / seal was leaking on the original case? I have a 1976 Evinrude 2hp with a bad lower bearing unit. It has decent compression, but it won’t even fart on a prime charge through the intake due to insufficient crankcase compression. It will pop a little and give a little smoke with a charge through the spark plug hole but that is all. Just curious if this was ever checked.
