Guess I came to the right place. Thank you both! So I should replace the engine, not fix it? I'm an automotive mechanic by day so I can do the work just don't want it to snowball into a money pit like all my projects do Is this a nitro motor? Is an eBay controller ok?
yes it is a nitro engine. Can't really tell if it's a .45 or .67 K&B
But from the carb on it, I'm gonna say .67
What it the length of the boat?
Are there Servo's in the radio box?
Rebuilding the engine all depends on what is found once taken apart. As parts availability for that engine will be difficult

Absolutely I was thinking maybe parts were NLA and that's why he mentioned to replace itif you are a mechanic im sure you can dis-assemble it and discern if it is still serviceable !! worst case you would probably need a set of crankshaft bearings to get it running .. and they are a common item just get the numbers off them and google them !!!
