"New" Engine

The new engine has arrived.  It doesn't look very new right now!



First we'll give it a service, then run it up on the bench, and test everything.  If necessary, we'll overhaul it.  This motor is a marinised Kubota tractor engine, and the parts are very available and very inexpensive.  The Volvo Penta MD7A parts are made of unobtainium, and plated with gold.  An example:  Injectors are $400 each.  The Kubota injectors are less than $50 each.

Happy days!
