Several very irritating things happened to those things. They were a tilt assist system. A nitrogen filled cylinder that helped raise a motor that was one of the hardest to raise motors because of the center of gravity! Well, the nitrogen got out of the cylinders (there goes the assist) & the cables gave trouble. Fleetwin would be your best bet at trouble-shooting. I’m sure he saw more of them than I did. I just heard the bit**ing in the meetings. On top of that the parts were ridiculously expensive. TNT for those motors is the way to go, but the units are also hard to come by & costly. Same unit from 40 to 50hp from ’89 to 2006 I believe. Hopefully Don will see this & correct anything I got wrong?
