All,
I had my 787 motor rebuilt at a shop when I bought it.
While starting it at the dock, the plastic threads that hold the rave valve up tore apart, and the rave valve bounced off of the piston, breaking the ring.
So, now I have to pull the jug to replace the ring, and check the damage to the piston.
I see the 2 exhaust bolts I need to remove. It is the jug closest to the rear of the boat that needs to come out. The bottom bolt looks like it will be tight with the carb there, does the carb HAVE to come off to do this?
Secondly, anything I MUST replace while Im in there? Would the gasket still be ok, or does it need changing?
Appreciate any advice, have never done one before.
