[QUOTE="River Rider, post: 221031, member: 2087"] I am thinking there is something sick with the older motor. Sometimes it runs fine, and then sometimes it is a dog. This past weekend was a good example, ran great on the way down river, but on the way back up it wouldn't plane my little boat with just me and a cooler half empty in it. Then after it set for a few minutes so I could back the truck and trailer down it ran fine again. It is just random like that. I first supsected coils and wires. Which i was right on the wires, but replaced the coils as well. It ran fine after that. Then now it is doing something else. I can hear the motor and it doesn't sound like it is running right either so I just figured if I am to over haul an outboard I would do one that is newer. Plus the older one had been used in salt in its lifetime so I don't want to deal with finding corrosion. As for the bigger block deal, I was told this by a couple people that the bigger block was better for the jet, rather then the smaller block. [/QUOTE]
