    Default Why oh why do I keep doing this.....


    Why do I keep buying someone else's junk. I have not even taken the cap off the Sprint and what do I do, I buy a broken motor for it. Unreal, someone, please help....

    Now I gotta go to Harbor Freight and get a engine hoist to get this out of my truck!

    Great deal on a 100hp Yamaha 4 stroke. Only one problem, engine is froze up. Over heated, prolly needs new short block. Hopefully not a head too. More hopefully it's just a head gasket, but prolly not! I got too many projects going all at the same time, and I'm not really done with the Jeep! crazy huh. I'm telling you I need help!

    And I already pulled the plugs. And turned the crank, crank turns to my surprise. I was told it was seized. hmmm, so far so good, more checks to go

    Plugs not pretty. but at least no mechanical gap changes!

    Now when I look at those plugs, something looks wrong. Looks like they were the wrong ones and/or they were not installed all the way, wowser! gonna look and see what kind they supposed to take.

    LFR5A's are correct. Now were they just not installed all the way, dono, but they're not going back in that's for sure. Gonna get some new ones and see how far down they screw!
