    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    Try adding a rare earth (neodymium) magnet on the outside of the starter. Change positions until you feel a difference. When a magnet cracks it's done.

    Cheapest online decal store ?

    I have a guy who cuts vinyl decals, but the issue is he can't do gradient. He buys color vinyl by the roll and has a machine that just cuts shapes for the car graphics. He doesn't print. The grey to black background he can't reproduce, so I have to look elsewhere.

    Weird situation, looking for advice/how to repair

    Personal keeper motors should be absolutely perfect , IMO. Fix it as best you can, then sell it and find another keeper. Applying heat before bending is always a good idea, the rest is autobody work.

    If the dealer sold you a 4 stroke, bring it back to him and tell him he gave you the wrong one.

    Outboard top cylinder getting hot

    Try removing the thermostat, and clearing the passages with water pressure or compressed air. A properly functioning thermostat assembly creates necessary restriction to adequately cool the top cylinder. You can also retorque the head bolts to see if your compression improves.

    What hp 4 stroke should I look at to replace a 1985 evinrude 20 hp 2 stroke. 14 ft crestliner muskie aluminum boat

    You should stick to a 2 stroke and get a 3 carb 35 HP Johnson / Evinrude as new as possible from the 2000's. Properly maintained 2 strokes do not smoke or slobber running synthetic.
