Well, it all started with the gear case blow out about 2 weeks ago, I just knew it was my motor with a new ventilation hole in the block. Well dodged that bullet, I was happy about that. I put her in the driveway, pulled out the plugs to check for broken connecting rods, all pistons moved as they should. Phew! Then I put things back together and she fired up... emoScratch Then I put her in gear and with a loud POP! That's when I decided it was a gear case issue. So I asked around and James said call Eddie. Eddie hooked me up with a brand new gear case, Happy Camper. Well then I get things all back together and off to the lake I go for some breakin time on my new gear case and what happens? She won't start. So after about an hour of trying to get her fired off, It's 11 pm at this time, I pack it in and take her home. :emoticon: The next morning off I go again I just figured she was flooded as happens on occasion. So after about half an hour I called James, he gave me a few pointers on starting the ol girl, nothing I did seemed to work. So FRUSTRATED beyond belief, she has always been a little hard to start but has never failed to start and once she fires up she starts right up afterwards. So, on the way home I dropped her off at Sportsman's Marine, this is about 10:30am. They tried a few things there on the lot to no avail. So I decided to leave her there for them to look into the issue. After all they are supposed to be the professionals right? I stopped there because I called Joey earlier that morning and he was covered for the week he said. I told you all that to tell you this, It's been 4 days and no updates from them. I drove by there on the way to work and she is still sitting in the spot where I left her. Out in the rain and the sun. emoMad I am very tempted to go pick her up Monday and give Joey a shot at it, which is what I wanted to happen in the first place, never make decisions when you are angry. I just want to go fishing Wednesday and Thursday when I'm off, is that too much for a fella to want?
