Sorry----Just another V-4 crossflow that has suffered from broken rings.----Needs to be rebuilt.---Needs 4 new O/S pistons and rings.----This damage will occur in all of them-----Too expensive to have a shop do this work.----Not too bad if you can overhaul it yourself.-----There are no short...
Once again this might be proof that many used motors are sold when major issues are present.-----It is always " buyer beware " when looking for a motor.
My 1979 Scarab Sport was wood core.----Pulled out a lot of it in 94 and all it was was wood flakes / powder.----Call " beaver puke " if you will.------Shameful when the brochure says " World class boats " in my opinion.
That could be the lever to open the " enrichment valve " ---A unit that has replaced choke flappers.----This suggests that the carburetors need attention.
Make sure you install a new water pump impeller.----And lots of motors with the same ignition system parts left the factory.----Many of them do not use electric start.----So , yes it will start cold with a rope !
