[QUOTE="Churak, post: 481988, member: 25211"] Thanks for your replies everyone - unfortunately I've had a similar experience to Jethro. Figured I would follow up and let everyone know what I've been working through the last few days. Servicing: The engine is old enough that no shops want to touch it, even for a timing / compression / adjustment tune up. Most shops were saying they would only service motor year 2000 and newer. The one exception was Perley's Marina in Rowely, whose cut off is 1995 :roll: - thanks for the suggestion DaleH! New re-power: Looking for 25-35 hp range, remote -> Likely as a result of the global supply chain issues and folks itching to get out of their homes, ordering an engine is our of the question if you want to boat some time this summer. Need to work within the stock available in their stores today, which isn't as plentiful as one would hope. At this point I'm poking around a repower and putting my feelers out there for pricing. Given availability, it might just come down to me finding some time and tools to tune the idle / timing / compression myself for this season. If anyone knows where I can find a cheap sets of tools to help me do that I'm all ears! :lol: [/QUOTE]
