He just sent me more pictures after he honed it out. Plus these readings.
Did a light cleanup with the hone. Cylinders measure right at 3.217 and the spec for .030 over is 3.217 - 3.128. Think I might just hone them a little more and slap some new .030 over pistons in.
Compression is basically no good....not worth doing anything.
4 years ago is a long time.
Running the motor not hooked up to the battery ruins the rectifier but I guess your never ran that way.
Time for a parts motor with a good power head.
Most motors will run good underload because they are ....underload.
Your motor is mechanically shot. Rebuild or buy something else. Tough lesson but your in a very large crowd.
Most of them are control wires....red one is hot, match it.
As far as connectors, water proof. Personally, get the stock ones or new pins if you can.
Motor look like this? I made a name change!
He was buzzing around at 5500 RPMs and I was going to meet him and give him a lower pitch prop....never went to slow mode. I told him to ground the wire going to the overheat switch....he said he did that and nothing happened (no alarm)
Stupid is as stupid does.
Just loaned him a motor.
Agreed, complete job or nothing. He didn't check the overheat alarm system only the oil alarm. Admitted going though a kelp bed.
No limp mode so obviously an issue with the sensor.
Agreed, find the overheat prob and repair
Thanks guys.
