Howdy guys and girls
well some investigation this evening revealed why the outboard was running a bit rough and having power loss issues from time to time. Using the process of deduction and years of keeping an old landy on the road i pulled the evinrudes plugs to inspect. Shes a two cylinder 25 hp 2 stroke 1975 vintage and the bottom cylinders spark plug was very oily. Further investigation with a small torch through the plug hole illustrated a very oily looking cylinder head, methinks my rings are cactus. I will be onto Southside Outboard wreckers tomorrow for a quote but in the mean time i also have the top 2/3's of an evinrude 18hp of the same vintage. My question is, is it a simple process to transfer the bottom section of the leg (from just bellow water intake including prop) onto the leg of the 18hp as a stop gap, effort as this donk is supposed to be in much better shape. What is involved in this process if possible? Any words of wisdom from the wise.
cheers
