Title: Motor / Parts Value
Post by: WetRaider on June 12, 2013, 11:05:28 AM

I see a 90's 1150 up on here for parts ...

wondered if I could itemize parts values when asking for a complete motor sale ...
Mine's currently at Tiki waiting for a compression test

Would some of you guys indulge me on what you think parts are worth?  Some of these are obsolete and not available ... at least that I can find ...

Carburetors (re-built last season) x 3 = $120
Cowling (faded paint, faded red/blue stripe) w/ top = $75
Distributor w/ plug wires = $200
Lower Unit/gearcase = $250
Powerhead/crankcase w/ flywheel (assuming low compression) = $150
Prop (aluminum, 19 pitch) = $35
Starter = $35
Switch Box = $75
Trim/Tilt Pump & Cylinders (one cylinder slight leak, needs seals - extra cylinder available, also needs seals) = $200

All of that adds up to $1140 ...
It would obviously take time to sell it off piece by piece, so should I feel comfortable asking $1000 or best offer with a firm low-limit of $800 for the working/running complete motor, even if it might have low compression ??

I paid about $250 a few years ago for a LU that seals test good .
T&T cyls. plus working pump sound about right ...

Comp. numbers look good. You should probably just keep what you have?
I've seen people selling motors with bad compression for quite a bit of money. Especially if it has hard to find parts.

Since the compression is good,  I'd probably stick with that one and find a mechanic who can work on the older Mercs...

Finding one who can & one who will are two different things ...

I don't have a whole lot around me - the only two guys who say they can, have said they'd only consider it a winter project.  They don't want to deal with needing hard to find parts while they're busy.

Just looking at this thing, if I need a new starter, I could be spending anywhere between $180 & $360 ... I think I might rather put any spending towards a motor that is newer by 14 or 15 years

Have you tried Dave up at Brightwell's?  Maybe he'd go through it on a Saturday with you.
