Evinrude Rebuild I have an Evinrude 1988 88hp spl. It’s on an 88 Sunbird the motor would jump when we would run
in forward at any pace we checked timing ..OK so we thought prop..got
rebuilt.. still prob. so must be lower end. Yup I am planning on
rebuilding it cause the clutch dog and forward gear are slipping you said
that it would cost more to rebuild than to get a rebuilt on from that
certain place you had recommended in another answer. I found everything to
rebuild it for around 300-400 do they sell the rebuilt one for less than
that? Also one cylinder was not igniting and had silver
dust from the head and piston collecting on the spark plug I’ve cleaned
the carbs to make sure it's getting fuel but the paint was bubbled so we
knew it had been overheated before I got it. The cylinder wall also has
some light scratches and piston has rounded off some compared to the
others which have sharp edges on the raised part. Would you go ahead and
bore out all four and put new pistons and rings in or if it isn't to bad
just hone out the scratches and get one new piston and rings? I will be
doing everything w/ a friend who works as a mechanic for a boat shop
around me so labor will be nil. Wondering what I should expect to pay for
piston / s and rings? Thanks for your time Bob
Bob,
Sounds like you have a real can of worms. Definitely rebuild all the
cylinders with fresh pistons, rings & bearings. New pistons and rings
are usually less than $125 each. The gearcase parts are reasonable and a
rebuilt case will run over $900. Take your time and inspect all the parts
and replace worn items. Now is the time as it is easier to replace when
apart than later. Break it in nice and you should have a good rig. Randy
