I did this write up on the FLORIDA SPORTSMAN forum. After the origanal poster asked the question, several posters jumped in and they ALL said a rebuild will NEVER be as good as it was when new. I take pride in building an engine when I do one. And NO they don't run as good as they did before, for the firs few hours. Once they get broke in ,they run as good or better. My 140 EVINRUDE looper was my first 2 stroke to actually rebuild(not just repair). It would tach out at 5200-5300 on a good day before building it, after it needed a new prop because it would SLAM the 6100 limiter. Alot of myths out there floating around.

Ferm, if you lived closer, I would be at your house about every afternoon or weekend.
Honest to God there isn't that many reputable outboard mechanics around. Biggest problem is they just don't know. What is worst, they don't know that they don't know.

I'll be the first one to admit I don't know it all. I learned humility awhile back. the difference is I WILL find out. ALOT of people out there in the industry think they know it all.

Carburetor???
Oh I've heard of them. If they can't diagnose it with a machine, it can't be fixed. Jackasses last year replaced $700 worth of catalytic converters (4) on a truck of ours because the machine said so. Afterwards I found the real problem, a busted harmonic balancer. $69 with shipping.

I once looked at a car a guy had for sale, he said he had "rebuilt" the motor.
I opened the hood and the motor had obviously never been touched so I asked him what all he did during the rebuild. He said he had done "everything, you know spark plugs, plug wires, changed the oil, new points (it was a while back)".....he honestly thought that he had rebuilt the motor. As for those who say a rebuild won't be as good as the original, any decent hot rodder will tell you they are wrong......if its done right.
