Re: Sea King Midget powerhead rebuild.

[cajuncook1]

I guess the first question would come to mind would be why does the powerhead need to be rebuilt?
– Low compression?
– broken rings?
– out of specs for bore diameter?

I am certainly not an expert on your little motor, but use caution before deciding to hone and re-ring a motor of that vintage. That little motor does not pop up often.

I dug up this information that Frank Rob posted regarding the little Evinrude midget.
