[QUOTE="joefur, post: 406469, member: 18179"] Phase 1 complete. I finished my motor. I changed everything I thought could possibly go wrong. Coils, points, plugs, wires, condensers, fuel pump, fuel lines, vacuum switch, carb kit, lower unit seals, leaf plate, everything I've read that typically goes wrong, I changed. In hindsight, I changed all kinds of things that were just fine but I'd do it all again. These are great motors to work on and my first. Half the fun was finding things on ebay to see if I could save a couple of bucks, downside is it takes a LOT of time. I spent $586 which includes a few things that I destroyed/lost/wasnt included in the kit. IMO if you are inclined, its a great motor to cut your teeth. To anyone considering "rebuilding" my advice is to do one thing at a time. Make sure it runs afterwards. The worst thing you can do is tear it all down. Change the electrical, start it up, Change the carb, start it up. It will run rough all the way and it will never run right until its all together. Whatever you do dont tear it all down at once, it will be your downfall. Also, nevermind someone telling you $586 is too much to spend on your motor. If you're doing it to make your money back, they missed the point. [/QUOTE]
