Im new to the out-boards. <br />While out on the lake the other day I experienced a sudden loss of power.<br />I brought the 73 Baja 1600 in and backed into a dock area to pull the plugs while still in the water hoping that it was just a foul plug. <br />The # 1 plug had the dreaded aluminum buildup at the tip that blocked the plug hole. <br />A compression check reveild "0" compression and all others are fine. A rebuild is now unavoidable. <br />Realizing that Ill likely have to bore the cylinder, its time to ask a few pointers.<br />Is there any way to get more power outa the engine while Im in there via mods?<br />Any tips that are crucial that the Clymer manual does not cover?<br />Who is the best supplier of rebuild/mod parts for this adventure.<br />I have a 76 115 inline that has the same issue that I have kept for parts. Will the pistons interchange ?<br /><br />I had concidered repowering, but the boat is a relic and I really do not want to change anything original as it is an all original classic race boat.
