2 stroke re-builds
Posted by Paul H on May 03 2006
The upside of re-building a two stroke is there are no valves, so rebuilding the top end is merely new pistons, rings and bearings, and boring out the cylinder.
The downside of two-strokes is the crankshafts are often contructed in multiple pieces, and take serious labor to split, replace the bearings, and precisely re-assemble. Also each cylinder and crankcase has to be independantly sealed from one another.
I'm not familiar with the Johnson 90, but will take a swag that you're looking at about $500 in parts for new pistons, rings, gaskets and water pump, and probably another $500 odd in labor.
If the bottom end needs a rebuild, you're likely dollars ahead looking at finding another similar sized used unit.
