Well take out the obvious..... The planet, taking care of mother Earth.
But let's take that out of the equation, super reliable as long as you keep up with the alarms and shut it down when it tells you to. Vro stands for variable ratio oiling, so what does that mean? It means that at idle it's...
I agree.....could be worth $3000.00 could be worth nothing....I'm not there.
But I'll tell you some facts about what I paid last year for a 2002 70 that pretty much is your motor. It's laying down in my shop because I can't get to it.
So here's what it is.
It's the engine that's sits on a...
I don't think I'd ask any questions, I would just get my money clip out of my front pocket and give him a whole bunch of Ben Franklin's.
One side note though looks can be deceptive!!!😆😆😆
Do we have any pictures?
Questions to ask, does it run and if so does it run well? Why are you selling it? Anything I should know?? Does that make them nervous?
Last but not least, is there any corrosion?
Nothing really specific for that particularly fine running model.
Many ways to skin a cat but I'm pretty sure you could do it anyway you wanted to do.... your good.
As to the other question, grease, heat, time, money, bushings, seals, scraping, digging, cussing, bleeding, stroking, yep Happy Times!
Colorful language is how I speak.... especially working on outboards but we don't know how young the Joey's are in here.
That being said, post a picture a little bit farther back, becauseI don't believe you've broken the exhaust at all. That is where the motor pivots to go right and left or...
Well problem solved and problem added. We've all been there. Can't wait to help or try to help with the new problem.
As to Racerone's crafty little question?
I should have added....."lots of outboards" to the......message.
Pardon Monsieur! 🧐
Okay...
Couple of things, and this is for the future, wires going to the coils (not the plug wires) have a basic color and one stripe each. Blue and green. Blue is represented by the top cylinder (sky) and green is represented by the bottom cylinder (grass). That also works for the trim and...
Crosbyman, your right.
Tell them the best, easiest explanation and they won't believe you. Tell them some elaborate story about how the moon and the earth have to line up and it's like hook, line and sinker.
Over and over "The Cros, Race and the rest of the older Wiseman" tell the best answer...
Sorry but picture doesn't show a green hose... It shows a black hose circled in green, of coarse I'm blind and stupid!
Racerone is correct, learn about this perfect little motor.
