Pump length – wear only occurs at the bottom.
Issue arises if you get to where there a hole in
it. A plug can be soldered on as a repair. A
penny can be used as a plug. It wont last as
long as the brass but you can replace it for a
penny. Doesn’t sound like you are there yet.
Look for this fastener to lock the pump in.
Pitted cam is common. Some have machining
capability to turn it down and press on a sleeve.
The rest of us run them as is. I have had an A, a
J-25, & I have a J-65 that I used one summer.
Ran it at least 40 hours that year. The pitting on
the cam was never an issue. Someone once
told me that the Pitts are beneficial as they
carry extra grease. Sounds good to me!!!

Did some more looking.
This is from the 1923 I had.
The way I have the fasteners laid out would
indicate the tapered one holds the pump.

Don’t have a clear recollection of filling the
gear case. Likely just put in what it would
take to avoid over filling. Don’t know how
extensively you plan to use yours. I was
checking (let the water drain out) and adding
grease as needed the time I was using one
daily. I used how many tanks of gas I ran to
determine when it was time to add more. The
condition of the bushings dictates how often
that will be. Want make sure all the water is
out of the gear case when you’re done. The
screw on the side of the water pump is to drain
the power head. Don’t loose it as screws with
that thread are no longer being manufactured.
While wheel bearing grease will stay in there
longer, using 105 or corn head grease will give
the upper driveshaft bushing as well as the prop
shaft bushing the best chance of getting
lubricated. Search you tube for
“Lubriplate 105 – Corn Head Grease – in
Antique Outboards Without Seals”
If you’re not aware of the grease we use today
as a substitute for what is no longer available.

You say in your thread in current projects that you
had the coil tested and it tested good.
With the spark plugs out and both plug wires
grounded to the motor, pull the motor over as
fast as you can about a dozen times.
Then check for spark again – both plugs grounded.
