[QUOTE="bobby_bates, post: 460313, member: 14976"] Friend already bought the new parts and installed. This happened to us while out fishing one day, so I showed him what the issue was, and how to fix it. I have 2-3 spare o-rings I take with me all the time, so when I get home, I'll re-do the cam follower and o-ring with no lube. Then the easy part of taking apart the two halves to locate the missing cam follower and connecting link. If that doesn't work, maybe buy a new carb top body cover? The "mushroom" on the end of the shaft that the cam follower slides on may be worn, or maybe have a burr on it causing the o-ring to fail? If that doesn't work, maybe it's time for a newer 4 stroke. Again, thanks for the replies. I really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
