Guess who was TOWED in today ??

[macojoe]

Thanks all!! For your suggestions!!

But I have not the tools or the no how to repair this motor!! Its a total loss as far as I am concerned.

The cost of a machine shop, and parts, and then the rebuild is alot to gamble on if it doesn't work out!

I think BR has a good motor there!! I think a good Decarb will bring the comperssion numbers as Yamaha is none to carbon up alot!

That might be all it needs?? As for the starter issue I have 2 that are good right here.

Shifting rod is Stainless in the first year Saltwater Series from Yamaha, and I have a 4 year ols stainless from my motor if its not.

My carbs are the same number as his.

And best of all My boat is all rigged for his motor already!! We have the same controls, wire harness, steering, shift and throttle cables.
I already have the same oil tank and its installed with all lines.

from the time we start to finish I bet that motor will be bolted on and runing in a hour!!

Once again Thanks all!! If anyone has a need for parts from a 150 to 200 yamaha from 84 to 89 and beyond just let me know!! I have 2 of everything!!
