      Found everything. Quite ….
      Paint code ? 🙂
      Or should I paint it flat black like a rat rod ? 😛

        It’s your motor, do whatever you want with it. Personally, I’d paint it the right color. Reprotint has the correct color paint. http://www.reprotint.com

          Thank you.

              Head gasket and rings received from http://www.laingsoutboards.com .
              Very nice service and solid box !

              How to do when you need a ring compressor 🙂

                The usual first (re) start.

                  There’s no water circulation in the engine.
                  The rubber excentric as some wear, so i need to replace it.
                  I can’t find one specific for Scott-Atwater, but this Gale #900040 seems to be the same :

                  I also noticed there’s supposed to be O-rings on the water tube, but I’m not sure they are really useful.

                  Do you use any kind of sealer here ?
                  Also, the rotor is not cheap at 25$. Its shape is nice, but it shrinked.
                  Is there any way to have it stretch to the original size ?

                  Thanks.

                    AOMCI member Brian Wilcox makes the pump rotors for this motor.
                    I just got one a month or two ago from him. And he’s very reasonable.
                    His email address, baron0418[at]att.net
                    And I think the "b" needs to be capitalized.
                    Good Luck with your motor.

                      Thanks a lot Steve for the information.
                      I ve mailed to Douglas Penn,but he is now retired from outboard parts:)

                      It seems rubber can be as new ( and still reliable years after ) by soaking in brake fluid.

                      So i try first this.
                      3.99 for DOT 4, and 25 $ + shipping for an unknow rotor 😛
                      Guess my choice..

                      This motor will run, of course.
                      My goal is to sell it and find a 1927 / 30.

                      Won t make money. for sure 😛

                        That’s shocking news about Doug Penn.

                        Scott and Gale rotors are NOT the same.

                        Another aomci member, Bob Long also makes them.

                        I’ve bought from both.
