My motor puked all over it's self!

[shicks007]

Thanks for the concern guys, but unless the Ethanol made the lower crankshaft bearing go away from here, I doubt it's related ;D. ??????????????????????
But who the hell knows. It looks like to me the lower shaft seal had been leeking some water into that bearing, there was soome corrosion.

I don't know anything about the "Intruder". The man did say it was strickly used for fresh water (came off a bass boat.

I know I need new controls and a new harness.....what else... I don't know. I'd like to know what it's really going to cost when the swap out is all done.

You're probably right Schicks. Sounds/looks like you guys know a lot more about motors than me. I was thinking of these lines from the article when I was reading your post: "Ethanol is a solvent and attracts water. These two properties can lead to clogged filters, inadequate lubrication in two-strokes, and low octane conditions that can damage engines. " And, "Above all, pay more attention to your engine(s) this season. Pay attention to a knocking or rough running engine, signs that your gas may have separated. If it has, the tank must be drained or you risk considerable engine damage."

According to the article the low octane causes the knocking and the inadequate lubrication can cause internal engine problems like scoring.

Like boat engines need another reason to create problems!!! >:( Good luck.

Well I checked out the motor, looks pretty sweet. I got in touch with the owner, he said he would take $1800 and give me 30 days just in case anything was wrong. He said the only issue he had/has is the starter bendix wanting to hang up on ocassion when the weather is cold. Other than that he said it runs great. He upgraded to a 150 E-TEC :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

I still need to price out a control box, harness etc.. to see what the final total would be.

The owner of the shop say the "Intruder" really means nothing. Sometimes Evinrude would label the motors for different line of boats.

Can help me ID the info (year, etc..) from the number on the welch plug on the powerhead: G4199671

Is this the one I need

where's the bottom of the motor pans? what yr is it again. if it's a 95 or older you need the red plug style 96 newer you need the multi harness style. those were fresh water only motors by the way.

Hey Skools,

Good to hear from ya. I'm not sure why the lower cowling was off. He had had the power head covered with a plastic bag he said to keep the mud dobbers from getting in there.?? He has the pans in the shop.

I looked at it thinking it was a 96' the owner said he thinks it's a 97', here's the number off the welch plug, can you decode. *G4199671
(EDIT) I think I wrote down the wrong number!

Also, I know this was a fresh water motor. But the way I understand things, my old 140 wasn't meant for the salt water either.

[Skools Out]

not sure on yr by that but if you get a model number i can tell you more.

Shicks, that motor looks the same internally as my 2000 150 Johnson.
