So I made a risky move and bought a '93 Square Nose for $600. It was mint on the outside, but the inside was a disaster. It had the ebox taken apart to bits, water everywhere, heavy rust, everything bad. Pull it home though and got the motor to turn by connecting it directly to the battery and each hole had 155psi! Awesome. The motor itself was in great shape. In the end, the only reason it hadnt been running was all the oxidation build up on the electric connections. Some elbow grease on the inside of the hull, a carb rebuild, and a few new motor mounts and now have a minty 650 superjet for the girlfriend for under $700.
Here was the progress.
Yummy:
What a mess:
Up hill battle:
Engine out, begins the work:
Separated motor mounts from water damage:
Gross:
Little bit of this:
Water got everywhere but past reeds and cages:
Cleaned up, getting there, mounts in:
Its a wonder what a wire brush and a wet/dry vac can do:
Motor assembled, carb rebuilt, everything cleaned up and down, ebox back together, new plug boots, started right up:
Minty fresh:
Minty 650 for under $700 total, awesome sauce:
