[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 329389, member: 3278"] Okay....so you bought a non-running parts motor. Did you expect perfection? Since this may be your first or early venture into doing this you can expect to go on several "witch hunts" when you buy used engines. I call it un-doing the sins from the previous owners. Get used to it! This is why I preach proper service procedures and not shade tree service in this forum. Good example. On this particular family of engines (9.9-15hp Jo/Ev.) used in salt water you can pretty much expect to replace the water tube grommets under the powerhead........given fact. A reply after I stated this fact stated that all you have to do is run a coat hanger up the tube instead. Insert sound of crickets... That.........is what you bought and are now dealing with! The really cool thing is that when you are done it will be a great little engine. [/QUOTE]
