Motor / Parts Value
« 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 ??

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.
