My motor puked all over it's self!

Mulv,

What kind of performance numbers are you getting with that thing. What prop are you running also?

This thing has that OIS stuff like was discussed a week ago or so.
 
I have the OIS system on mine. I feel foolish because I'm not sure what size prop I'm running :-[ I get around 5300 rpm at full throttle and about 43 mph top end trimmed up sucking ducks. The motor is a little thirsty but pops the V-20 right out of the hole and up on plane. I can cruise comfortably at 3800 rpm. I just cleaned the carbs this past weekend and was actually pretty easy to work on. The carb bodies can be removed individually without disturbing the lynk and synch or the throttle bodies.
 
Do ya'll know anything about a plug that would enable me to use my old controls. It souns like a whip that converts from the big red conn. to the multi conn. harness.

Mulv, if things go through with this motor, I would be interested in what prop you do have. The motor doesn't have a prop(the guy used it with his new motor), but the owner of the shop said he could probably round up a used one for me to have.
 
Scott. I have 96 150 enenrude. It looks Identical to this one.. It came out of the Super Sport marine shop up on 17. If you want to come down and lok at mine let me know. 5300 top end, 34-38 cruising, I'm pleased with mine so far. Don't know top speed only have tach.

Chic,

I wouldn't have recognized your screen name! Aint this some $#@*. Just when I though I was getting this old girl right. I might give you a call this weekend.


Thanks
 
I picked up the new (to me) motor yesterday, it was about a 80 mile round trip trailer. The shop owner helped me bolt it up, all went well. Did a compression check, had from 111-116(psi) on all cylinders. Got it home and finished making all the connections and finnally got to hear that thing run......GREAT DAY IN THE MORNIN' SON!!!!!!!!!!!!. That things sounds good. I'll try to post some pics later today, and hope to give it a good sea trial. I purchased a new all. prop from the guy, ended up going with a 14.5X17.

What is the proper way to adjust the control cables.?
 
Great!

What is the proper way to adjust the control cables.?

Till they work!! ;D

really they have a plastic end that is threaded on to a metal rod with a nut, the nut is to keeo it in place after you get it set.

Are you using the same cables?? If so they might be fine were they are.

you want to hear the motor shift into gear and no grind noise once it is in gear!!

If you hear it grinding after you have it in gear adjust one way or the other till itys gone.

Make sure you are going all the way in gear with the shifter!! a slow shift not all the way will not ingage all the way!.

Gas is easier, just look at the linkage and see if it is going all the way, if not the make it longer if it is and not coming all the way back then make it shorter.

Good Luck!@!
 
Thanks guys,

I am using the same cables. Here's what we did at the house. Without the motor running I spun the prop by hand to see if it engaged in fwd and reverse. It would not engage into reverse so I adjusted it to where it would. It seems like it is adjusted all the way. With the motor running it goes in and out very nice and smooth, I just want to make sure it's engaged all the way, how do you know?
 
Shicks PM me your Cell number an i'll call you this afternoon after work just i get off usually around 3:30 to 4 pm. I'll try to tell ya how i adjust them.
 
Thanks for the call SKools. I took it out yesterday evening and everything seems to be good to go. Here my numbers (from memory)

WOT (playing with the trim) 5200 rpm @ 42 MPH
Cruising : 3500 @ 29 MPH

I can't get over how many differences there are with this newer motor, sweet. I can actuallt talk to my passaenger at wot. Idles great. The only thing I noticed that didn't seem quite right was, when I gunned it (from any speed) it seemed to run a little flat for a just a second then caught up to itself. Anyway, good first run
 
Way to go Shicks!!...Ya jumped in there and took care of BIDNISS!! 8)...good work, Man ;) ;D...and goin' by the numbers, you're dead on the money w/ that prop ;) ;D...are ya pre-mixin' or usin' the auto-oiler?...
 
if it's flat check the timing retard under flywheel on control cable side make sure it's still hooked up correctly or that it's moving with the throttle. will get pics for ya tomorrow.
 
If He goes so do I. I might have to look for a ride Transom will be out this winter, but I'm good for gas and beer.
 
RAP,

Right now I would have to say yes to the OBX hookup. But I'm not kidding, the thought of OI makes me nervous, durring the winter especially.
 
Shicks, I completely understand your concern...that's why I said earlier, you'll see me FOLLOWING guys thru the inlet (at least 1st time) who have ''been there, done that"... ;) ;D...hope you'll make it...
