Where to get parts?

[fuzzeywiggler]

I have a sad story indeed...(not really but its a bummer) I recently bought a 64' evinrude knowing it diden't have spark but ran a compression test and tested the gears before buying. When I got home I wanted to make sure there wasn't a fuel prob as well so I pulled the head and turned the motor over and sure enough I was getting fuel as I was putting the head back on I noticed something funny with the pistions, their blown!

Long story short anyone know good sites for ordering pistons, rings, gaskets?

Alright, now would newer parts (pistions) be interchangeable? if so what years?

Thanks Fuzzey

fuzzey,

what do mean by blown pistons? I don't believe you can get a good compression test on bad pistons. Are they scored, burned, cracked? If they look like they have a lot of burned crap on them chances are they are fine and a good decarb with seafoam will clean them up not to mention the carb.

If you do need pistons, they are still available from Johnson/Evinrude dealers. You probably will have to update them to the newer Pressure Back piston rings, so you need a parts man that knows what he is doing.

The piston has a hole in the top edge.. I would post a pic but I don't have an available camera.

I figure its from age everytime the pistion would hit TDC it would knock a little and wear down. and being a 64' I think its somewhat normal

I don't think seafoam is quite gonna cut it . I have torn apart the carb and rebuilt it if I/when I get the motor running (if anyone is bidding on armature plates on ebay please don't) Ill get a carb kit

No idea about your motor, but I just checked out your boat project and it's looking great!

I think a combo of ebay,outboard websites and johnson dealers is where im going to get parts from.
