Good Call Skools, *I had an Evinrude 120 Looper that did the same thing also. *After replacing the T-Stats all was well. *Apparently the motor would heat up and launch itself into S.A.F.E mode. *I understand there are a number of problems which can display the same symptoms. *Just hoping its something simple for MJ's sake he deserves it.

hate to say it but Dirt dobbers are to blame for this issue usually. They get into the motor and fill them up with dirt and it just stays in bad locations till the motor burns up.

Its like a wasp, but they dont sting and they are usually solid colored. They build the little dirt "bungalow" looking things hanging in sheds and pump houses and such.

MJ

I'm very sorry to hear about your motor. Try to keep your chin up man. It doesn't cost anything to try what skools is talking about.

Good luck.

Stink I guess us Southern Folks need to post a pic of one of their dirt homes and a pic of then filling up your air tools and motor passages.

Nah. We get them up here too.
Unfortunately this motor may go up for sale locally and probably at a net loss. :'( A sad day here in New England.

Man, I feel terrible for you, and wish I could offer some magic solution. If there IS anything we can do, let us know.

Thanks all!! *It was a great try, but it has failed!

As CB said we have tryed all, and after the news from the marina I feel if I keep trying, I will be throwing away more money?
I might do more harm then good and have nothing to sell?

I will do a compression test and let you guys know, But what ever it is the motor is going to be sold for what ever I can get for it.

The motor has been mickey moused so much its hard to tell what is good and what is bad? I have no idea why so many things were missing from this motor?

This is like a old car you have and you no its junk but want it to go, but you know its always going to be junk and anything you do will just be a waste of time and money.

So Thanks all for the Donations and the encouragement!! I appreciate all the help and will never forget what you have all done!!

We will see Spring Brings??
