new boater needing help with motor

[kriegersa]

Even if you can keep it running, I would still want to address the carb leaking fuel. The new gaskets that come with the rebuild kit should solve your leak.

thanks for the advice, i also wanted to ask this: about roughly how much could i get for that motor? as is? because I really want something bigger.

Im sorry for reviving a dead thread but i figured i already had one. lol.

It really depends on your location.... If your area has a lot of hp restricted lakes then smaller outboards are in high demand, which means even a smaller repairable 7hp. probably would pull in a good $300 or so. But the best thing to do is probably research motors similar to yours on craigslist in your area. Get a general price range for a good running one and a junk one, then figure out what a fair price would be for yours.
