That is coming out nice! My 1987 140 has had everything rebuilt also. Makes it interesting to get parts. Everything under the cowling is a 1994...so you have to be creative buying parts. The only thing I needed to change was a rectifier, which e-bay helped also. Keep the photos coming.

clean the paint out of the reed holes and off the upper main bearing or you'll have issues. never paint fuel passages the fuel breaks down the paint and then the paint gums up the cylinders on 2 strokes and can result in burnt pistons. clean the intake inside where you got paint in it.

Also if you redo the lower don't get any paint inside where oil is at or else it will come off as well.
