Just last year had to overhaul it and rebuild the carbs, clean the gas tank from debris, replace the pumps, hoses, and whatnot.. the oil injection lines had literally split in two underneath the carbs, so had we not pulled the carbs, that thing would have seized and been completely worthless.. But wait.. it was just running the week before... Who would have known so much could go wrong so quickly..

Getting parts wasn't too bad.. except the oil injection lines.. Nobody made them.. So, I went to a local boat repair shop owned by a guy I went to school with since second grade - he did not remember me - and he figured out an alternate hose to us...

Anyways, was running great by the end of the summer.. then had to winterize it.. can't wait to see what's broken this year and has to be replaced while sitting in the garage all winter..
