Things are awful quiet here so I’ll add some
content.
I got this sad motor in 2016 in a “to by one you
have to buy them all” deal. I had intended to
just use it for parts but the stuff that it needed
keep appearing. I don’t have everything but I
will attempt the make, or repair the damaged
parts I need, to complete this motor to use next
summer. First will be repairing the coil mounts
on the cylinders. This repair is essential for the
project to move forward. Our Buccaneer has
done this repair recently on one of these. I’ve
also done some research on mig welding cast
iron so I’m pretty confident I’can make this repair.

Tubs, glad you’re going to give that “Pile of Parts”
a second chance at life!
That should keep you busy for a while.Prepare to be boarded!
Whoa….Tubs, you are gonna need a big sack of magic powder for that job! It might take two winters but…. you can do it for sure!

That one will take some work but it’s certainly in the hands of the right man for the job. Keep us posted on progress.

Took the best parts to make a motor and see
what I’m missing. The only thing I don’t have is
a prop nut, which is not a problem, and I need
some spring steel to make the clip that holds the
gear case up when its in the folded position.
It was unusual warm yesterday for this time
of year so I took it back apart and gave the parts
their first cleaning.
While I have all the parts to make a motor, some
will need repair.

It is not original, but I have used nylon lock nuts for prop nuts on a number of motors. They never work loose and you can adjust the tension you want on the shear pin.
It’s always nice to get to the phase where you can work with “clean” parts!

Yes….Clean and inspected parts! You are half way there. The worst is over! Is the old kicker stuck? What do the cylinders look like? Are you gonna grind the grapes off of the transom clamp? I can’t see the tank very well in that pile of parts, no lumps/hills/divots to deal with?

I was planning on using a castle nut.
I’ve done it before.
Using a nylock has never occurred to me.
I often use an O ring (rings) between the
gear case and the prop in an attempt to
slow the exit of the grease in these motors
without seals.
A nylock would be just the ticket for
adjusting the tension.
Thanks for the suggestion.
