I have been going over the forums here, and there are tons of people who are very knowledgable people here, so hopefully you will find these easy to answer.
I bought a 1994 Four Winns Fling project boat. It had one bad cylinder. There is some scarring on the wall, and I plan on honing it out and replacing all 4 rings.
The guy I bought it from told me that all parts could be replaced with OMC 115 outboard motor parts, and gave me a 115 HP Evinrude outboard with the boat to complete the sale. The outboard had great compression and looked real good. When I tore it down, though, the pistons seem to be .25 smaller than the ones in my powerhead, and I think it is probably a early to mid 70s version. Are there any guidelines that you can give for what years of 115 outboards will be interchangeable with this?
Second question, where do I find the model numbers for the powerhead to order new rings for it?
Lastly, I was told that the engine blew one cylinder because the oil injection stopped working. Any disadvantage to disconnecting the injector and premixing my gas and oil, other than the hassle?
