Guess who was TOWED in today ??

MJ that sucks major I like BR's offer. I've seen the motor looks great and you'd be in bizness in no time. I bet your motor would part out for what BR is asking for his ??? What's the difference in the 175 you have and BR's 150? Will your reeds and carbs fit BR's motor and make his a 175? the cheapest shipping company is by far i've found www.freightcenter.com Just shipped Boater93's 225 from Mi to NC for $224.90.
 
After crying all day I am now getting excited again!!

Do you think that 175 carbs will fit 150??

this is a question for BS!! I am real interested!!! But can you hold a bit longer??

I have to sell some things to come up with the cash.

you guys are great!!

I just may have a new bo, cb's out now!!
 
what model is that motor BR??

I just went to a site and looked up mine and got the carb number, then looked up yours, they have 3 different models,
so I picked one at random, thinking that they probly all the same any way, and they matched!!
 
Thanks BS, But after talking to few macihinic's I think that a rebuild by myself is out of the question!

I am going to try to work a deal with BR and get his motor here.

I checked and the carbs are the same numbers, I just don't know about the reeds??

But with all the parts I have for sale, I could make the cash, buy his fix the carbs, and be in ther water in short order!!

And best of all my boat is all rigged for his motor, just bolt and go.
 
i'd suggest premixed next motor. i've learned that plugs are cheaper than powerheads. pull the head off that side post a pic of the bad cylinder. you might be able to do a 1 hole fix. They really aren't near as hard to fix as shops want you to think. if it's very very light scoring just hone out the scratches put a new piston kit in that hole. rod should be still good.
 
The carbs should bolt up . . . It's probably better just to use the 150 carbs . . . clean them real good and get rebuild kits.

There are a lot of parts to make a 150 into a 175 . . . besides just the carbs. I'm not totally familiar with the mods for the Yamaha Blocks and the differences b/w the model years. You could always compare the part numbers.

Usually it's the carbs, reeds, heads, exhaust that tune the motor. The block is usually the same . . . Some Merc's have a horizontal front half and others had a verticle front half. Motors with a horizontal front half usually produce more HP. I think the same is true with the Yamaha 2.6 excel/220special and the regular block. Just ask around screamandfly.com or byuboyz.com . . . those sites are full of good info for a rainy day when your not going fishing.

Just compare the parts

Since you have nothing to lose, pull the head and take pictures. Make sure the piston is still there. It may be something as simple as broken rings on that piston. A quick hone and some new rings and you'll be good to go.
 
I still think BR's motta is a better move, but you got nothing to lose by taking the head off or tearing down the whole motor. It's the best learning experience if you've never pulled one apart.
 
Let me dig up that old post with the pics and specifics about my motor...

And yes, I'll hold onto it for a while - its been 10 months already!! ::)
