But those dang high ring pistons gotta go.

'79 115 that was on Ron's CVX16 when he got it. Plan is to cut the exhaust bridge and add bubble butt tuner. Have some '83 hi comp heads. Swap intake, carbs and ignition from the 112 special. Add Carson reeds and let her rip.

They're pretty simple Mike. Best thing you can do is invest in a factory manual. Be interesting to see what exhaust tuner your '77 has on it.

I'd get a 'factory' OMC manual. Wish Haynes had 'teardown and rebuild" manuals for outboard motors. Far as I can tell they don't. The Clymer, Seloc stuff is okay. But it's crap compared to the original.

I'm told Boatinfo.no has pdf's of stuff.
