So whats the status on the install MJ how's it looking

Re: Motor Removal & Install
 

Ok as stated above the peice is missing, but not the end of the world!!

I found a guy near me that would rebuild the starter I have, I took to him on Monday at 4 pm, he called Tuesday at 11 am and said its all set!!

It needed new brushes, spring and armature, cost me $125

I had my Daughter pic up for me as I was at the camper till today.

I just installed the starter and it turns just fine!!~

Now I will try to start tomorrow??




As for the next problem, the Oil Injection linkage rod has been disconnected and a part is missing??

BR says that the injection was fine when he used it, but there is no way it can work right now??

I think the mariner that did the repower for BR browed a few things they needed, Thinking the motr to be junk??

Well I am going to premix for the start, and order the part I need when I find the part name.

I am draging the camper home Monday and will have time to play with everything next week.

yeah MJ Marina's are great for using parts off other peoples motors that you don't notice at first.

Keep us posted on the crank up MJ.
Sorry about the injection thing, its been one thing after another.

One thing I don't understand though, is if this linkage rod is part of the motor, wouldn't my new motor have had one? Could it be part of the injection system rather than a part of the motor?

Re: Motor Removal & Install
 

the injection rod comes from the Carbs to the injection pump.

When you give the boat gas it also moves the oil pump to give the proper oil.

Idle it gets 100:1 and at full throttle it gets 50:1

The rod is threaded on the end near the oil pump. there needs to be a peice that has a plastic gromet that pluges on to the pump.

Someone unscrwed that small piece.

I am going out there now to work on it. I try to get a pic for you.

Ok I worked on the motor yesterday and she fired right up!!

I did a decarb and added decarb to the gas, after the first decarb she was already running better!!
I did a 2nd decarb and she ran even better!!

Now I permixed the gas for now till I can get the part.

Hit the water today, she is idling way to low!! Had a hard time getting her started cause she was so low, and the high idle lever isn't working?? (another thing to fix) But got her going and off we went.

She ran nice and even all the way out of Hyannis and out to the open water.

I opened it upand she tookm off nice!!

But after just a short run she would not go over 10 knots??

I told CB the hole story and there is a few things we have to take care of, Idle, High Idle lever, and the shifter for the throttle is real hard and now this problem.

Also need to figure out were the wires go for the Tac?? The old book for the 175 shows were eveything goes, but the new book makes no mention of a Tac let alone were to hook the wires.

We here are a few pic's

Nice to see you back on the water! Billy Mac ;D

Re: Motor Removal & Install
 

ALL RIGHT!!! Just get them bugs worked out and your good to go! Congrats! :)

Re: Motor Removal & Install
 

MJ, hope it's just a coil or somethin' easy...good luck w/ it ;) ...

Re: Motor Removal & Install
 

It's mechanical. I already helped MJ troubleshoot the problem via phone. I think there is a worn bushing or washer that's making the shoulder bolt on the throttle lever pivot point bottom out and bind the lever. As soon as he loosened that shoulder bolt a bit, the lever moved freely. Nothing serious. Just one more trip to Cape Cod and we'll have her purring. ;)
