      Hi Guys,
      I picked up a 57 35 Johnson today. I seem to remember these having a compression release for the pull starting. This one has no electric start, so how do I disengage the compression release to get a proper reading?

          Remove the actuator arm on top of the starter.

            I just unscrew the 2 screws that hold the SS horizontal bar to the compression relief tower.

              What’s an acceptable number on the compression? It’s an RD 19

                95 to 125 roughly.
