Well rebuild #2 went out Saturday on houghton lake. Everything was great until it blew. I had a good time taking it out from the launch I was catching up with a cigarette with twin I/o's until I had enough and took it to the dock. Batter was running low so I charged it up and while I waited I mixed a 5 gallon tank of premium with the oil 50:1 and added it to the tank. After the battery charged my Dad and I went out for some fun and about 30 minutes into I started getting everything set well I had about a 30ft rooster tail going turning heads everywhere I went.(sorry forgot camera on that run). I came across a Blue/Silver Starfire and we kept passing each-other on and off then I tuned to head back and that's when I noticed the motor slowed down some and I Backed down the throttle it went to a dead stop. I waited some time and tried cranking it did not turn at all. I pulled to cover and I could not even turn it by hand, it was stuck solid. About that time the other check pulled up and asked if I need any help I asked for a tow and he did. After getting pulled back we talked for some time found out he is on Saginaw river a lot and I told him to check out this site. He left I pulled the plugs cyl #3 melted. I called kary and told him the bad news, we talked about options not sure whats going on yet I am interested I going to a V6 150 but I am not liking these inlines by now. And I did not know my rpms at all since my charging circuit was out so was my tach. I did wach my water pressure on and off it was good.
