I picked one up. It appears to be all complete except prop and nut. All the covers are there. I cleaned the points and have spark and have the carb soaking. What can anyone tell me about it?
the hood is complete but has some fiberglass issues.
I ground out the inside
and laid in three layers of fiberglass chopped strand
next I will fill in from the outside with bondo.
I bought this on CL along with another motor. I liked it as it was complete. I have decided to make a winter project of it and not restore but refurbish if you will.
The good. It is complete. As purchased:
I am looking for help on this one. I have rebuilt the carb with new float. also put new coils and condensers in. It's got hot spark on both. 90 lbs compression on both. starts fine, but some where it is sucking air. I cannot get the idle to lean out. At wot it runs like a banshee. Bring it down...
I picked this up when selling alum at the recyclers It was there sold for scrap by the pound alum.

I see a lot of threads on here where members are asking will my vehicle tow X. The question is not so much will my vehicle tow X, but will it stop it not under normal conditions, but a panic stop, down hill stop ect. I have a 1972 Searay SRV 180 I/O and I can push it into the garage myself so a...
guy brought this to me as it would not run right and he said never has since it was new. Why he didn't take it back to the dealer I don't know, but I found the intake was sucking air and did locate a parts manual online (should have bookmarked it). The intake was missing the oring that seals it...
what is the trick to the floor? Does it need to go in before inflating . Got it off of Craigslist and the floor was in it and it was inflated when we got it. We took the air and the floor out to transport it and now it seems a puzzle.
friend of mine got this on a Craigslist deal with a boat and trailer. He took it out last weekend and it ran fine out to the no wake and about 3 miles up the lake. They turned around to come back and on the way back he did a hard turn and the motor bogged down and would not pick back up. He...
friend of mine is buying a sailboat and it has about a 10 yo Tohatsu on it. I know nothing of these motors as my experience is with older 50's J/E and Mercs. He wants me to take a look at it and advise. Other than compression check and lu lube ect what to look at? Are these decent motors? I...
they were towing down to Kentucky lake and had pulled over due to high winds. The high winds pulled the boat off the trailer and this is the result. these are well experienced sailors who have towed this trip often.
I see a lot of posts on here about trailer light problems so thought I might post this to make it a bit easier for those having problems. A light functions by voltage, in this case 12v through the filament and then back to a ground. Both voltage and a ground must be present for the light to...
this is a 52 or 53 Brooklure 500 (wow 500 hp!) 5hp. Picked it up the other day. new coils and a carb overhaul, impeller and lu oil and it runs great. It looks like the recoil may have been a different color than the tank. I am going to repaint it and wondered if anyone has an idea if it was a...
Techumseh power head water cooled not sure of the year think it is late 70's has very few hours on it. Anyone had any luck tapping out the bypass cover and putting a minkuni pump on it. does not have much of a carb to begin with and the fuel pump element in them is a joke.
