Will do Watermann,it looks like the trim tab motor is shot and I haven't figured out if tnt motor is bad yet.Good news is the motor started this am!If this warm spell stays around I will put it on muffs and see how good it does run.33* here in Michigan at noon.The TnT motor was hashed on my new to me 115 Merc, when you find the part number for a replacement there is a really good aftermarket company that I used for the TnT pump in my Chief's Mercruiser and the 115. You can PM me for the company name, the prices are outstanding.
Ok, I thought you were talking about the TnT.
Yeah shoot some fogging oil in each cylinder, turn it over with the starter to disperse it. The numbers are a bit low, you'll probably only get another 10 or 15 years out of it. :lol: I'd run her. Be careful starting the motor, the impeller is probably rotten and could disintegrate plugging up the cooling passages with chunks creating more issues. Personally after a compression check and you've decided the motor is good put a new water pump kit in it and then run it.
Seriously, a Harbor Freight anything is bottom.of the barrel disposable junk. Yes ^^^ ,try doing a compression test with a quality gauge.
