AARGH..mechanical nightmare , looking for opinions here folks, found another complete engine 70 horse for 150 bucks needs rebuilding, but a friend of mine seems to think i might be able to get away with just honing out the cylinder that is bad on mine and putting a new piston in it and carry on for the rest of the season or at least until i can get the 70 rebuilt...Not sure what is the best bet..|I just want to be back fishing..been too long already without a boat in the water ...guess for a couple hundred bucks it is worth giving the 75 another chance. cylinder has a pretty good gouge in it, will a new piston be able to maintain some compression or am i wasting time and money trying to limp it thru the season?
