Hey,
So i pretty much got this outboard for free and was having really bad starting issues and coughing when at idle.
Ran perectly fine when in gear though no coughing.
Anyways I tore it apart this morning and found almost every gasket needs replacing. No big deal everything is already apart, and the two cylinders are in great shape too from both sides i can see. Also most the wiring needs to be replaced, rotting out ( probably why hard to start) compression and spark are great. So once i replace everything I have a perfectly fine power head. Also need to rebuild fuel pump and carb.
Now the issue is i just changed the lower unit gear oil, i suspected i had a leak, and after running a few times i pulled the drain plug and sure enough, Grey Milky Oil. Damn! I dont know how hard it is to rebuild a lower unit but im sure its not easy.
So now ill have a great motor besides lower unit needs to be redone or its junk.
Should i just part out the good parts and junk the rest and call this a day?
Or is lower unit seal rebuild easy
thanks!
thanks
