140 hp Johnson

all other cylinders heads had carbon dust all over them, wish I took more pictures before I put it all back together. maybe a little scoring on one other cylinder but nothing like that one.
 
jumping on and off forum, some of my posts are from my phone. while dealing with kids ranging from 5 to 18 years old 4 in total. I live in south Florida.

Yep I still have it. It needs a few things from sitting, but it isn't locked up(all I had a chance to check was if it still turned, and it rotated a fuell revolution no problem). It hasn't ran for about 4 years, so I would put head gaskets on it and a few other things. I'll PM you a price if your interested in it.

ok everyone removed fuel seporator and everything looked good. just to be on the safe side got a new small tank of mix gas removed bowl drains on all four carburators. i pumped untill fresh gas came out, put it all back together and attemped to start. NOTHING. now this is where it gets scary got compression tester and as follows:
#1 @ 30 psi
#2 @ 29 psi
#3 @ 0 psi
#4 @ 30 psi

AM I REALLY SCREWED HERE?

shurlock left here about 12:30 with it on its way to her new home after he heard it run. Hated to see it go as it has been such a good engine for me once I learned how to work on loopers(and the things NOT to do to them), but hopefully she lives on for many more years instead of sitting in my power corner. Hopefully this summer I can get bradfords old engine(the one next to it in the video) torn down, bore the bad hole in it, and get it back together.

no patience guys went out and bought the gasket when the other one comes in the mail I'll keep it for a spare for the rebuild on the old one will keep everyone posted
 
Great to hear! :clap:

I thought that 225 looked familiar. Y'all she may look old, but I spent a ton of money on her before blowing that cylinder. I hope she treats Ferm right or he can make some bucks on her. I do miss the haul *** factor.
 
still missing something

hello everyone I have been so incredibly busy with work and my kids I did get a chance to put the engine in and change over the wiring harness started for 2 seconds and then wouldn't start anymore going to have to play with it some more to see what happened just so busy
 
I know it's been a long time

hello everyone missed you all, things have been crazy at work. and I have finals at the end of this month. but I finally had a chance last weekend to get to the engine and I have it running. I had to solder some parts on my wiring harness. kind of a ghetto rig but I'm going to order the new harness from eBay. my grandparents are giving me some money in June as a graduation present. going to use it to buy a kicker motor and some cushions for the cuddy cabin will be looking forward to talking to you all mid June.
