Well if they have them yea!! Thanks!!

I can get New off ebay $50, but as siad I had a hard time holding the $800 so I have to come up with $100 for the motor :-[

Wow I can't belive as little as 2 year ago I opuld have bought a new motor and now crying over $50 :-/

so I guess by the answers here I should by the motor?

I going o tell the guy I have $600 and see if I can get it for that?
Hell it needs a power pack and I did all that work for him on it before.

Thats got to be worth something??

I will let you guys know how I make out, I will buy for the $700 if I have to.

So looks like I am almost back in the water!! Gee I might be able to fish 1 or 2 times before I have to fog for the winter :'(

So...... Do you want me to wait until you buy the motor to send you a couple of coils, or go ahead and send them? Let me know! :)

Ok guys lots has happened since this morning!!

My wife has not been feeling well and today the lion Roared!!
911 take her to Hos. She has a real bad infection in the graph site were they did the bi-pass, Make a long afternoon short,

she has infection, sugar threw the roof, she has heart problems and the heart has been racing like mad all day and they trying to get it to slow down (140), she has had stuff coming from both ends all day.

They just took her for Kat scan then for a stay in ICU till they get things fixed??

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Talked to the guy with the motor and he will only go $700 cause its for me, or he would try to sell for more.

$700 is what he needs for the new motr, 2004 Suzi 140 4 stroke.

So I told him its mine!! but I have $650, he will wait for the other $50 from my next pay ck.

So this leaves me short on getting the power packs. *I guess I won't be in the water for the fall run.
I will wait till the spring i guess.

You gonna wait until the Mrs is out of the hospital, or should I plan on taking a drive?
Can you swing the $$ thing with her in there?
You know I'll help out if ya need me to. 8)

MJ, Glad to hear your motor problem is working out. Prayers will continue for your Wifes speedy recovery.

macojoe · #28 10-12-2006, 04:16 AM

Thanks Hammer!! and all!!

I was talking to someone else tonight and they were on CB's side thinking fuel.

he says that when the clamps were missing it was causing it to run lean, and after adding clamps it has almost fixed the problem.

And it stands to reason we are on the right track?? That it might need a carb adjustment to fix?

He went on to say that this new gas has been messing with alot of things!!

So I opened the repair manual to see how to adjust, and this is what I found

1. * *
* * *Some gasolines sold for marine use now contain alcohol, although this fact may not be advertised. A mixtute of 10 % ethyl alcohol or ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline is called gasohol. This is considered suitable for use in Johson and Evinrude outboards. Some gasolines, however, contain methyl alcohol or methanol. This is not recommended for 1973 to 1986 outboards and only under the provisions outlined under Proper Fuel Selection *in this chapter for 1987 to 1990 models.

2. *
* * * If gasohol or a gasoline/methanol mixture (1987 to 1990 models) is used with any regularity, Johnson & Evinrude recommend that the carburetor jets be changed to provide a richer mixture to maintain good performance and pervent possible engin damage. See your dealer for recommended rejetting according to your needs.

What do you think of that skools?? *Maybe I had 2 problems?? one was fuel that we fixed and one with the power pack that was hidden by the first problem??
