"Hi all,
As regards to my engine rebuild (posted on the forum 29th June), it's not gone quite to plan!!Still low compression.
Due to the cost of new parts over here, The piston assembly and Con Rod was replaced with used parts.So the current state of play is as follows:
I have been offered a crankcase and block including all pistons, Con Rods, crank etc off an
older Mercury Mariner 50hp 2 stroke. So I'm thinking that I could make one good one out of two!! But I have doubts.
I know that the H.p. is the same, but what about the CC (cubic capasity)will the piston sizes, Con Rods be the same? Are they interchangable?
If not are the blocks the same? could I put my bits on an older block? He said that his engine has two carbs, mine has three.
Please help (again)
Best Regards Arfon"
