Tilt Trim - STP oil additive?

[69MyWay]

Leaving a rainbow trail in the water by me will get you an expensive ticket from the DNR.
Probably more then it would cost to take to someone else to fix.

That's what these old two strokes do though - might be hard to tell if it is hydraulic or two stroke oil!

Like I said - it wasn't leaking (externally) until AFTER I tried this STP.

If you are leaving a rainbow trail, you have something leaking that can and should be fixed.

A four stroke might do the trick with fuel injection! (in my dreams) I've never seen one of these old bats not drop a few drops from trimming up and transport to dropping in the lake. Don't know how that could be stopped 100%. A few drops go a long way too. But no...it doesn't rainbow trail...but it does drop some in transition.

I suppose if you are tilting your motor all the way up the float bowl spills. I do not have to do that with mine.
If the WDNR sees it, they will write you an expensive ticket.

So, this is a cluster now. I ordered the kit 64507A1 which is what is supposed to fit a 1979 motor - serial 5504853. I yanked the cylinders and dropped them at the machine shop that is finish welding the ladder I'm building. He calls me and says the kit is wrong - looks nothing like what is in my unit. He has already pulled one apart. Not good. Now I don't know what to do. Marineengines.com shows NEW unpainted cylinders - but they are $325 EACH. I've already got over $150 in the seal kit and rush shipping not to mention any labor. I don't know why my parts which look on the outside EXACTLY like what is supposed to be on it - but something not right inside. Any insight on that?

This may not be the one you need, but it does match your serial number.
When I am looking for parts, I use this website because they have good expanded drawings and then part numbers. So I can visually verify if the part is right, and then I have the part number to order from wherever.

Hope this helps, good luck.


ETA: Take the part number to ebay:

That's the exact part I already have. The machine shop texted me photos of the guts of my unit and the service kit 64507A1 that is in that link you provided, and what I had bought. There is a night and day difference.

I sent a copy of that photo to Oldmercs.com to see if he can identify it.

I will look when I get to shop but I think I may have a mid you can rob cylinders from.

Sorry, I missed that you had the part I linked to. I had a little more time to look and found this alternative. Apparently there is a 3/4" and 1" rams. Is that the difference? Check it out and if I find other possibilities, I will post here.

And one more. So, hopefully one of these is what you need.

Hello Minnow - something you just linked bounced me around (in a good way) and I discovered these:

https://www.marineengine.com/newpart...um=MER92188A+2

Now...odd thing - these are for a 50 hp unit. I have photos of the parts that came out of mine - and confirmed they are identical LOOKING inside. Mine is the 3/4" shaft.

So, there is a chance me problem is I have the other cylinders, and to make them go again I need these seals. But...it begs the question if perhaps they aren't up to the task of the bigger motor????

Marine engines has access to new cylinders - part number 92194A14 or 92194A20 These cylinders cross check to a 1979 115...BUT they cross check to the seal number I posted above to rebuild them.

At this point, I am of little to no help. If this does not work out with Rock, the best I could tell you is to start another thread with appropriate title and post a bunch of images. Somebody here will know what you need to hear.

Good luck!!
