MORE!! Must have more OUTBOARDS!!!
Just got done with Lunch and Gunsmoke, it's 2PM. Before I came in for lunch I took the tractor and hung this big 50 with power tilt on the wrong side of the tank. This is so I can check the lower unit for water/ leaks, see if it has spark and "how bad" it might be. This was a VRO (oil injection) but I plan to run it (if it can be fixed) with traditional oil mix. This is short shaft, (EDIT NO NO NO!!!! IT IS LONG SHAFT!!!! LOL It's just that the huge gearbox, lower unit and prop makes it "look" more stubby!!!) the other 50 is longshaft, plus this has power tilt. This will make a great engine for the 15' Voyager if I can get it "right"
Well the 50 is likely a "parts motor." Gearbox had about 1/2 cup of water, but is not split. It is likely I could fix that, but the big issue is the top cylinder is 90psi against 125 psi for the bottom. I did get it to fire on starting fluid a few seconds so it would run. I'm sure the carbs might need gone through. I have the other 50 I may "see" if I can get this tilt unit adapted to it
