Hello,
Still having top-end issues with my 1990 Evinrude 90 hp. Mechanic rebuilt the powerhead and carbs over the winter; I've had the use of the boat about 4 days this summer; 4 trips back to his shop (it's there now and has been for most of the summer). Yesterday we scheduled a lake test for today; now he's saying "Call me first; we're really busy."
Since then I've called another shop and they can look at it. I gave him the symptoms of no high end power and missing. He said they can put it on their dyno and should be able to diagnose it within an hour.
If my mechanic blows me off on the lake test today, I'm going to pick my boat up anyway and bring it to the other shop. Four times back without any improvements is not acceptable, and making excuses like "we're really busy" is definitely not acceptable, given the amount of time he's had my boat and the amount of money I've spent. Therefore, I'm going to ask for a refund of his labor and call it square, and I'll deal with someone else. Simply put, I don't think I got my $1800.00 worth.
