    6302s Original Gas Tank - Is it vented?

    Hi, It would appear, based on empirical evidence, that it is not because almost every-time I open the tank I get a whoosh. It seems to whoosh out when left in the sun and whoosh in (maybe) after running the motor for a while. The latter is my concern - should I loosen the cap when running the...

    Water Pump Screws 1965 6HP

    Hi All, I'm putting in a new impeller on my 1965 6hp motor and the heads of the old screws are in bad shape and I'd like to replace them. Would I be correct that these are stainless steel? If so, I thought it it would much faster if I go to the local hardware store and buy new ones. Am I...

    1965 6502 Fisherman 6hp - Hoses & Lower End Question

    Greetings all, I'm in the process of gathering the necessary parts for a refresh of my new (to me) motor. I've read the "ramblings" article and have a good idea of how to attack the motor. I have run into one stumbling block - the throttle return spring is broken on the carb (I'm hoping that...

    Greetings all, I've got a 11 foot aluminum boat that is in pretty good shape except for the casting that is located on bow up at the gunwales. The boat has no identification so I cannot identify and/or contact the manufacturer. All that being said, the casting the covers the gunwales at the...
