Question for the OMC God!!

Well if they have them yea!! Thanks!!

I can get New off ebay $50, but as siad I had a hard time holding the $800 so I have to come up with $100 for the motor :-[

Wow I can't belive as little as 2 year ago I opuld have bought a new motor and now crying over $50 :-/

so I guess by the answers here I should by the motor?

I going o tell the guy I have $600 and see if I can get it for that?
Hell it needs a power pack and I did all that work for him on it before.

Thats got to be worth something??

I will let you guys know how I make out, I will buy for the $700 if I have to.

So looks like I am almost back in the water!! Gee I might be able to fish 1 or 2 times before I have to fog for the winter :'(
 
So...... Do you want me to wait until you buy the motor to send you a couple of coils, or go ahead and send them? Let me know! :)
 
Ok guys lots has happened since this morning!!

My wife has not been feeling well and today the lion Roared!!
911 take her to Hos. She has a real bad infection in the graph site were they did the bi-pass, Make a long afternoon short,

she has infection, sugar threw the roof, she has heart problems and the heart has been racing like mad all day and they trying to get it to slow down (140), she has had stuff coming from both ends all day.

They just took her for Kat scan then for a stay in ICU till they get things fixed??

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Talked to the guy with the motor and he will only go $700 cause its for me, or he would try to sell for more.

$700 is what he needs for the new motr, 2004 Suzi 140 4 stroke.

So I told him its mine!! but I have $650, he will wait for the other $50 from my next pay ck.

So this leaves me short on getting the power packs.  I guess I won't be in the water for the fall run.
I will wait till the spring i guess.

Thanks Gary, But I think we have one of the best OMC guys right here, Skools!!
 
You gonna wait until the Mrs is out of the hospital, or should I plan on taking a drive?
Can you swing the $$ thing with her in there?
You know I'll help out if ya need me to. 8)
 
Thanks Hammer!! and all!!

I was talking to someone else tonight and they were on CB's side thinking fuel.

he says that when the clamps were missing it was causing it to run lean, and after adding clamps it has almost fixed the problem.

And it stands to reason we are on the right track?? That it might need a carb adjustment to fix?

He went on to say that this new gas has been messing with alot of things!!

So I opened the repair manual to see how to adjust, and this is what I found

1.    
     Some gasolines sold for marine use now contain alcohol, although this fact may not be advertised. A mixtute of 10 % ethyl alcohol or ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline is called gasohol. This is considered suitable for use in Johson and Evinrude outboards. Some gasolines, however, contain methyl alcohol or methanol. This is not recommended for 1973 to 1986 outboards and only under the provisions outlined under Proper Fuel Selection  in this chapter for 1987 to 1990 models.


2.  
      If gasohol or a gasoline/methanol mixture (1987 to 1990 models) is used with any regularity, Johnson & Evinrude recommend that the carburetor jets be changed to provide a richer mixture to maintain good performance and pervent possible engin damage. See your dealer for recommended rejetting according to your needs.

What do you think of that skools??  Maybe I had 2 problems?? one was fuel that we fixed and one with the power pack that was hidden by the first problem??
 
MJ...went by Holdens yesterday and both power-packs ARE still on the motor...THE man out, so will get price today and get back to ya...you advise from there...

Sounds like could be fuel prob, so beyond gettin' price I'll hold off til you green light it ;) ...

Sorry to hear your wife still havin' problems... :-/ ...here's to better days ahead...
 
Oh yeah, MJ...my old '86 still has the SS prop on it...was painted black when I 1st got it till I took the paint off...could probably be had for a song...you gonna need one?...this one had my tach right and boat to 39.9 mph...never could get that GPS to say 40 ;D ...
 
MJ, sorry to hear your wife is back in the hospital. I will pray for her recovery.

My Dad had his second bypass surgery a number of years ago, and afterward they had a similar problem with his heart rate. The ended up installing a pacemaker for him. It worked out well.
 
Thanks for the prays Pipe and reel!

That info on the gas was in the Clymer book publish 1991!!
I guess they knew it was coming!!

The motor I am getting has a SS prop on it, 14 1/2 X 17 I think?

And comes with all controls and cables !
and get this he has a bracket on his boat so they cables are pleanty long!

But I will need to get a tac, as he has never had one. I am going to see if I can sell the Yamaha tac on ebay then buy one for the rude.

Thanks
 
sry to hear bout ur wife. best wishes.


you might wanna think about getting a roll of hose and just replacing all the fuel lines. it could be a small pin hole or crack that seals itself hwen the motor gets warm. cheap project that prob aint a bad idea on a motor that old anyway.

Thanks!!

As for the lines and stuff this is on his boat right now!!

My boat has all new lines and everything already!!

Maybe it will be better on mine I have no idea??

Well I have made plans to remove his motor on Saturday, He is bring it to my house and we are going to park both boats side by side and remove and install all in one shot!!

Will take another day to install all controls and stuff! I should be able to get in the water tuesday!!

Whatelse I have not old you guys is that I have removed the Bow rail and repaired all the holes! Also fixed holes from a old attna mount.

Also one of the last trips I hit a rock the size of my truck! Riped a 1" X 10" of gelcoat right off the bow, and then when the boat went side ways it riped about 1" X 8" of gelcoat off!! >:(

But that has all been fixed and looks great now!! Got my son to give her a brand new coat of bottom paint!

She may ot run, but she sure does look pretty!!
 
Sorry to hear of your wife, hope all turns out well.
It is amazimg what doctors can do these days,
my dad had bypass surgery about five years ago,
he is now 75 and goes dancing every night.
Doctor says he is in better shape than ever.

You mentioned you removed the bow rail,
will you be replacing?
If not, I did get some harware from RacerX,
he may have two more, I am waiting on an answer,
But I need six total.

If you have any of these in the picture, I will buy them from you?

parishht, thanks!!

as for the rail pieces, My rail was made coustom to replace the old alumin one. For the last owner.

It has welded feet right to the stands, so I have one of what you ask.

But, I do have in my surplus 4 feet!! 2 are low angle for the ends of the rail and two are angled for the stands of the rail.

They for 1" pipe and they are perfect except they are missing the allen set screws that hold the pipe in.

I am sure you can get them at a marine stor or hardware store, I know my hardware had them, but not stainless.

Let me know if they any use to you!!
