Good deal?

[1st_timer]

I've been looking for a cheap outboard to fix up for my boat I'm restoring. I don't have a lot of cash so I can't afford a working motor. What do you all think? Thanks

Re: Good deal?

Could be fairly EZ fix, or could be JUNK. No way to tell from ad. Is there even compression on all cylinders? Was it overheated? Warped head? Worn cylinders? Bad bearings? etc. etc. etc.

You need to know what you are looking at mechanically to determine if it's something you want to get into. Also, although Suzuki is a good engine in those years, parts are not as available as a Merc or OMC. Good luck!
