Well Saturday the 13th I had all my parts and the fly wheel puller came in. After a few honeydo's I was able to devote all my attention to the repairs at hand. I started pulling the flywheel at 1pm and by 430pm I was running the motor on the muffs in the yard.

This job went alot easier then I thought it would and the results were worth every penny. Ever since I bouht the boat the motor has sounded the same, a little rough, but I thought it was just the nature of this engine. Come to find out it had been missing on two cylinders the whole time but I did not know it.

Took the boat out Wednesday for an on the water test and was glad to see my rpm's, which I could only get 4600, is now upto 5000. It idles smoother and runs better. So after $295 and about 6 hours I am very pleased with the results.

I tried the seafoam to decarb the engine but did not see the smoking like I have heard others talking about. Maybe I will try it again.

Thanks for yalls support and input.
