I have a 1960 Gale (made by Evenrude) 35hp outboard on my boat. It starts up great from cold and idles nice and smooth until I try to give it some throttle or put a load under the engine. After about 5 minutes of that, I can put it at wot and it will rev right up like it's supposed to and the...
I bought a 1960 35hp Gale outboard last year. I got the engine running great. I had to put a new pinion gear in the gear case because the old one had sheered off. When i put it back together I noticed that I'm leaking gear oil out of two spots. Refer to the link at the end of this message. I...
