Well if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Got the powerhead rebuilt which entailed alot more than I was hoping. And got a replacement lower unit since mine was trash. And had to fix dozens of other items. Put it in the water tonight for my first time and ran it.

RAN LIKE CRAP!!! It was surging horribly so I switched over from the 25:1 break-in mix over to some 50:1 that I brought with me. HOLY CRAP BATMAN, she came to life and ran good. I got a total of 2/10 of an hour on it(according to the hour meter) aqnd decided to jump it up on plane. It acted like a real bad miss every once in awhile so I goosed it a little and BAM!!! My replacement lower unit let loose and lost all drive. Still pumping water though. Engine was running good except for the ocasional buck that must of been my lower unit goin.

So now I have to tear down my $280 replacement lower unit and see what went >:(. Not a good first impression with her, but the little bit I had it on plane felt good ;D.
