Almost another year has past. I've been plagued with over heating issues with my Evinrude. I decide to tear it down, remove the power head and try to fix what's wrong. As it stands now, I have the power on my bench and the heads and back cover off. I've found a few issues as far as blockages. I've been getting some new parts sent in. Gasket sets, etc. Last spring I bought a 1978 Evinude 115 hp for a parts motor. As it turns out, I will be using the mid section from this motor. I've got major rust in my original motor from salt water. I will put my lower unit and power head on this midsection. If anyone has seen the 1978 Evinrude 140 hp, that's the colour scheme I'm going to paint it. It's my favourite Evinrude paint colours. I've got all winter now to do this.
I hope everyone is well and have had good luck with their boats and motors. . I've missed coming around here. I'll need to spend some time catching up.
