Sounds carb related as stated by Ferm. but be extra careful on the plastic carbs and make sure you put the jets back in the correct location or you will have a worse day.

What ya catch at HI? I was down at EI too but was fishing in the Big Rock in Morehead City. I'm heading back tomorrow and then back for 2 weeks in July for some more fishing. I also have a 78 V20 but needs to be finished been to busy fixing everyone elses boats and working on my 24 deck boat.

great info there

If you're going to buy new look at a Parker first they are super super nice fishing machines in same money range. both boats built in NC. http://parkerboats.net/

I'd say if it's running fine run it and leave the heads alone.

they use to make cylinder caps for those OMC Loopers. it was a SS outter sleeve to replace the rotted out aluminum around the cylinder to head areas.

i know the head gaskets say no sealent on them but i've always had better luck with them if i spray copper coat on both sides of the gasket and let it dry over before installing them.

you talking about these guys? i've always had good luck with them. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-1996-Johnson-88-HP-SPL-Outboard-Reproduction-8-Piece-Vinyl-Decals-/161165099047?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item2586304027&vxp=mtr#ht_508wt_1074...

Happy Birthday Spare.

Get us the compression test results an also hand prime it with the hood off and look for the leak. it will show up while being primed.

those are good motors but they do have computer issues from time to time. The fuel pump is most likely leaking and causing the idle issue. check compression and see if he will lower the price alot. wouldn't pay more than $5500 for it especially as it is with the idle / fuel leak.

lol Ferm got this off facebook. My wife kidnapped my phone while I was working under the house. You never know what kinda crap she will come up with either.

been awhile guys I know but I finally put the deck on this boat this weekend. I have 1 piece left to put in at the rear but boat is wired, plumbed, and painted.

if it were a V6 175 200 or 225 it would be best with a 15 x 17 stainless

Ferms right it sounds like it lacking in RPM's I was running a 13 x 15 stainless on the same motor and getting 42 on mine at 5900 rpm.

Everything is fine at my place at Emerald Isle NC. Hope everyone else comes thru it fine.

hope we gott'em covered...

Thanks guys

same thoughts here too... really $55K i think he needs to reduce it by at least $35K then start to ask for offers.
