I'm in need of some advice on a 60 horse motor I've been running for the last 6 months or so.
First major issue I have is I can not find a service manual for this motor anywhere!!!! 0D000298. A manual does not seem to exist for this motor. This is a 3 cylinder motor with 2 carbs.
Have had some fuel leaking out and noticed it on the waters surface. really hate seeing that. Found the fuel pump to be leaking and planning on replacing gaskets with a kit. Also upon some tune up work noticed the lower carb does seem to spray some fuel outwards while starting and warming up. Runs like a scalded dawg wide open and doesn't seem to spray. Hoping a general clean up of carbs fixes this issue. This issue along with some occasional back pressure being blown out and bogging down made me think hey probably not a bad time to throw some new reeds in while im at it. Well seeing on the parts diagram it appears the reeds are a style I have never ever seen before. Would require full tear down to replace it seems. My question is are these reeds typically more durable than the typical style found directly behind carbs?
I absolutely love this motor. It is a torque monster. I really want to do everything I can to take care of this motor. I'm mechanically inclined and fairly familiar with outboards, but not aware of the service points and things to check out on this particular motor without a service manual. Any advice you may have is greatly appreciated!
One more bit. Bought this motor and it looked nearly new. 145 psi on all cylinders. I have probably put 75 hours of use on it in the 6 months ive had it. good oil at 40:1 and non ethanol. I'm now at 110 psi on all 3. Runs strong but I really was shocked to see such a change in compression. Typical for the amount of use or was this just needing broke in?
