Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

Will the coils from my old 1985 140 hp be the same as the ones on this motor? If so I could send him a couple to try instaed of buying one.

Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

Good luck w/ that '88, MJ...my '86 Rude was a great runnin' motor...lots of years of service from 'er...

Have you diconnected the VRO?...unless you've gone thru every component of the auto-oilin' system, I wouldn't trust it...mixin's a piece-of-cake w/ one of those Accu-Mix bottles...$3.99 most boat dealers...Wally-Market may have 'em...works good even in boats w/ multiple tanks... ;) ...

Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

If I remember correctly, the VRO was disconnected and oil was premixed by MJ's buddy.

Good :D ...

Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

Yes the VRO is disconnect!! I have been around motors long anough to kow that all VRO's sholud be disabled!!

We will have to see what the master says! I am not sure they will fit or not??
Well I could do a parts search and see? Do you know the part # should be on the side of the power pack?

Thanks for th offer!!

For $700 I should not be expecting gold!! But I want something to last a couple of seasons at least?? Then maybe I be in a better place then I am now!

I got $800 for the last junker, and I will tell you it ha not been easy to hold on to it!

Thanks all!

Another vote for the power pack. I had a similar problem with poor running, surging on our old 155 -- and a new power pack took care of it. Ran like a champ after that.

$700 sounds great to me.

Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

Shick, I just did a parts search and I belive I have the:

OMC 583114

Then I searched for yours, the funny thing is I could not find a 85 140??

But they had
1977 140 OMC 581731
78 to 83, 140 OMC 582125
88 to 99, 140 OMC 584041

Thanks for the offer!! :-*

Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

coil wise both motors use same coil.
OMC part # 0582508

The power pack on the 175 is as follows
OMC part # 0583114

fit's 1986 to 1988 150's and 175's

Re: Question for the OMC God!!
 

MJ, the power packs on my '86 Rude were good when it went down...now that was 2 yrs ago, but if ya WANT me to, I'll check w/ Holdens and see what he wants for 'em if he's still got 'em... :D ...
