    Just find another used motor in better condition, lots of 15 hp motors out there. If you do an economy repair you will end up with a motor with a short life and have to do this again soon.

    Battery question

    It is called a surface charge, and the battery is dead and gone, will never hold a charge. They just show a normal reading but it is not thru the whole battery. Have had this happen to me a few times. The plates have shorted out probably from crud building up in the bottom.

    Which fuel to use?

    I beg to differ, that is true on engines set up to run on different fuels. On engines set up to run strictly ethenol can produce more power than its gasoline cousin. Look at nascar engines, they are getting more power from E15 fuels than they ever got from straight gasoline. Unfortunately the...

    Why Oil Injection?

    Hate to admit it but can remember using a can opener, the type with the pointed end that punched a triangle hole into the lid of a quart oil can of straight 30 wt oil for my old outboard motor of a whopping 5 hp. Added that whole quart to a six gallon fuel tank. You added a gallon or two of...
