Well, I finally figured after a few weeks of adjusting the same 1500 stuff over and over again that the damned thing is just too worn to run well. I don't have the time to tear it apart and send the block off for a real bore job right now and I'm not crazy about the labyrinth seals either. Vacation is in two weeks. So I cast a wide net and went looking for a temporary engine. What I found might be permanent though. 1997 3.0 Liter 225 HP Mercury V6. Needs a krylon rebuild and a lower unit but for $900 its a good deal. So much for keeping it quasi legal.
