Yes, while back and they still look good looking through the inspection hole.  It also can’t be a lower unit issue because I was in the lower and cleaned it and resealed.  I also don’t think the coils screws have loosened and let the coils slide up because it doesn’t sound like the coils are hitting the magnets, I have taken the plugs out and pulled it I don’t feel any binding up or anything that would feel like it was hitting a magnet, or a loose/broken connecting rod.

Neck, I haven’t had any issues with the starter gear and ring gear binging or anything like that, so I am just going to say they are the same.  I put some oil in the cylinders before I let it set and before I tried to crank it over, it was in gear I took it out and no change. It spins over just fine with the plugs out and with the compression checker still pretty good (on 1 cylinder nothing in the other) also nothing feels to be binding.

Crosbyman, the battery charger says the battery is fully charged I checked it, checked out to be good, there was no electrical on it when I got it someone had removed all trace of the electric start not even a cut wire left, I know it would have been electric start because the model number is that of an electric start model Evinrude.  So for electrical I have my jumper cables going from my battery to my starter solenoid I had laying around and grounded to the block, and a push button switch to work the solenoid and I have 2 battery wires bolted and nutted to gather from the starter solenoid to the starter I cleaned them both till I saw a shine (I tightened them pretty good).  The 35hp starter I am using should be 12v it is from the 970s or early 1980s not too sure I got it with a couple motors as an extra.  If it spins good with the plugs out, I wouldn’t think there would be any binding in the lower unit, I also changed the oil in the lower because I was running some cleaning stuff the get all the extra grease turned oil I missed.  The only thing I haven’t checked is the voltage to the starter when cranking.

But I went out to check what I was getting voltage wise to the starter just now and it spun over with the starter just fine, at the speed it did before I put it up for a couple months.  So, I removed the multimeter and back to being really slow.  I just removed the lower, but I need to let my battery charge.  The reading I got from the multimeter said 6.87v or so but then the multimeter went blank when it was still cranking so I don’t know how accurate that was, I tried taking a jumper cable straight to the starter and still slow.

I haven’t thought about that billy-j, thought I did a pretty good job when I unstuck it, I took a hone to the cylinder walls, and took a brush and a mix of lube and rust remover to the pistons and freed the rings, was there something I missed, if so please advise me so I can fix it and get this thing running again.  I put all new gaskets on it, weather I made some or bought some.  The only thing I can think I did wrong was over torqued a connecting rod cap or maybe the block halves.
