Yes those marks are a reflection. You had me worried for a minute but if you look close you will see a redish line down the middle, that is the reflection from my engine hoist.

I have more invested in the tools than I would like to confess to but I wanted to make sure it went together right.

Yes she is running, I have a short video of her first time. I did not have an hour meter before so I installed one before I fired it up for the first time. I now have 1.3 hours on it but they are all on the muffs or in a tub. I need to put it in the water to set the idle while in forward gear.

I have rebuilt auto engines before but never a outboard let alone a 2 stroke.

All and all I am happy with the way it has turned out so far. I'll try to keep you posted as the break in process.

don't forget to run double oil during first 25 hours for break in to prevent ring damage.

30 gallons of 25:1, gottcha covered, even installed an above deck tank to keep from having to double the 60 gallons in my inboard tank.
