Hi
Yep i know my M55B is 27year old and it is problem to find any parts , but i get it with boat very cheap so i would love to make it work.
And my questions are :)
Where i can buy a service manual ?
I have problem with CDI , does it fit from some others models? and which?
Piston and piston rings ?
Outboard looks nice for one oldies so my plain is to drive it some time until i get some money to buy something younger :).
Any advice is helpful .

The service manual is out of print, but I have a reprint available. What is the problem with the CD? Have you tested/diagnosed it? Is the compression low? If not, why are you looking to replace pistons and rings?

If the CD case is broken... and you have uneven compression... on this old, obsolete motor... consider parting it out and getting a different motor.
