Have not been in for awhile thought I'd stop by...
Went fishing last early June - took a canoe with trolling motor & stayed a week. The canoe was a pain in the arse so when I got back home I started looking for another boat.
Bought a 16 foot Sea King with a 15 hp Sea King motor for $1,100. Motor had great compression but would not start, I rebuilt the carb and set timing. But the damn carb leaked fuel like crazy.
Was a spring on the float. Gutted the boat and repainted 100%. I'll post some pics on the boat later...
Also picked up a 1967 Johnson 3 HP to use as a spare and for trolling. When I got her in the mail I tested compression and had 3 pounds for less than 2 seconds of each cylinder. S.O.B.!!
But her she is now - Sweet!!
.
Am looking at another one now... Really nice little motor rebuilt her top to bottom - compression trouble was due to a bad head gasket / wrapped head from over heating. Had clogged water passages.
Sorry forgot to add tags...
