heys guys i have picked up a 115 that has previously had its lower unit removed and the tnt also removed. I picked it up for free.
i did a compression check and all the cyliners are around 125!!
I also checked the spark jump and all the plugs have a great spark..
it says oil injected...so my worry is, that i dont have any controls so i dont have a wireing harness...but i want to run the motor on my stand to see how it sounds..
I figure I ll just hook up an electric water pump to the pick up tube to make sure it gets cooled...but I am wondering if the motor will run if it isnt getting some signal that the oil resevior isnt hooked up....
just guessing, so id thought Id ask here...
is there some hook up that wont let thios thing run with out the proper harness?
I am thinking Ill just wire a battery direct to crank it over..and play with the throttle to keep her running
thanks
