Engine# 0B157444. Just picked up a Bass Tracker with this motor on it. Original owner stated low hours. By condition of boat and under motor cover, it’s believable. Motor looks brand new, lol. I am not a boat motor or 2 stroke guy, however, I have rebuilt car engines before.
Previous owner stated that he had issues with oil injection, so, a friend bypassed it and told him to run premix. He forgot, ran straight gas, said motor stopped and seized. I got boat home, pulled plugs: looked great, light oil, no rust, no melted bits. With a ratchet, could turn over motor with two fingers, could hear air puffing out of cylinders? What should I do next? Is there a low oil shutoff? Breaker? Should I premix and attempt to start? I have a bore scope and will peak inside cylinders, service manual on order. Thanks for all help!
