That piston and cylinder look rough. Your brother have the motor? Hopefully it won't take him too long to hone it out and get everything put back together.

It is already done and running. A million needle bearings later lol...don't drop one. If you can tell me how to post a video from an I-phone, I would post it running. I will try it out this weekend. It already has an hour run time on it. Took lots of patience, but those deposits came clean out of the Cylinder, so it was salvaged!

I've noticed a lot of videos posted here are posted on YouTube first, then the link is posted here.

Thanks. That's the dream. I am in the parts gathering stages. Also Found a new factory steering bracket for my little Wilson's boat motor yesterday that made my day. Thought I would never find one. New old stock on e-bay from Mn.
