Can anyone tell me more about this motor:<br /> http://www.fototime.com/inv/29F54FD0EACFAA5 <br /><br /><br />I believe it was originally a sea drive. Check out the throttle/shift linkage and model number stamp.
<br /><br />Thanks again, Dhadley. Is the 130 looper you're referring to the one that came out in the 90's? <br /><br />From studying my '86, 90/110hp service manual, along with the '86 Sea Drive parts catalog, I'm fairly well convinced that this is a 1986 or 1987 Sea Drive powerhead and lower engine cowling (engine pan). How this ended up with a conventional mounting bracket is a mystery to me. Perhaps the powerhead and pan were bolted to a standard midsection, or the sea drive bracket was replaced with a conventional bracket. It's a 25" shaft, so this could be a sea drive unit with the mounting bracket replaced.<br /><br />What gets me is the 1989 model stamp. Think I'll just ignore that for now. I suppose it could be a 1989 something or other, with the ignition system being a 1986 or 1987. (I believe they retained the twin powerpack mounting studs for a few years) What worries me the most is what I'll find under the flywheel. I'm worried the clown who built this engine may have used ignition parts which are not compatible with each other. (There have been problems with the engine)<br /><br />I'll find out for sure this winter when I take a closer look at the engine.<br /><br />Many thanks for the replies!
Easy peasy japanesy.<br /><br />when you are viewing your album in photobucket one of the options is resizing, they give you a choice of 25% of original, 50% or 75%. Takes all of 10 seconds to do it but be careful - once reduced it can't be enlarged (I keep a full size copy on my harddrive just in case).<br /><br />Aldo
