Default Re: submerged evinrude 175

hows this for ingenuity?



i drilled and tapped a couple of holes in the flywheel, then bolted a piece of flat bar to it so i could try and turn the motor. yanked on it for about 5 or 10 seconds and she broke free! prob so ez cause it has been soakin in mmo for a month. worked till it turned free all the way around. it was pushin some nasty lookin brown fluid out so i just kept sprayin MMO in the carbs and turnin till it was just clean MMO coming out. she turn free and smooth now! one thing, when the bottom starboard piston goes back in, when it passes the port hole in the wall it makes a sucking sound. i dont know if this is good, bad, insignificant. at any rate, what ya think skoolz? carbs next? should i get some 400 grit and soapy water, roll the pistons all the way in and 'hone' the cylinders? no race tomorow so i should have a little time to play. tx
