I'll spare you guys the dirty details. Because, I'm really ticked that I got caught up in the moment. I truly believe the most honest person will lie their butt off to sell a boat. So this motor is a 1976 85hp evinrude 85693g w/cooked piston. Thank goodness I ended up with motor control (omc)...
I'll make this short and sweet. Last year I bought a gt150 with a Chrysler 85hp motor. Exhaust plate was warped. I spent a month drilling out and helicoiling a bunch of bolt. Lower unit bottom plug stripped. Carb bowl retaining screw stripped. Finally got this motor up and running mid august...
Re: Overheating Force 125- maybe this was the problem?
last summer i spent the month of august drilling out broken bolts. 10 broken bolts on the last one i snapped the drill bit off in the middle of bolt. just sayin i feel your pain.
