  • 115 h.p. compression/dry cylinder problems

    I have 1986 115hp Yamaha. I took my boat out the other day and it ran perfect
    all day until i was idling back to the dock. I noticed it was running rough, I tried
    to give it gas but it kept stalling. once I got back to the dock I checked for spark and all cylinders checked out fine. I checked the compression and found out they all had 120psi in all cylinders except the bottom port cylinder had 100psi. Also when I was changing the plugs I noticed that the top starboard plug was dry.(the other three cylinders were normal-even the low compression one).Are these two problems related? any detailed info on the low compression cylinder and the dry cylinder would helpful.
    Thanks.

    Run some carbon cleaner through engine to see if compression evens up. A dry plug could indicate a dirty carb.
