Could these shafts be out of a different model?
The longest shaft I see listed is 32 3/8" for a 25" motor.
The shift rod is the same as a 20" (I do have a bag of short shift rods so that part is covered.)
I don't have enough short drive shafts.
Has anyone cut and made a longer shaft shorter?
I...
I pulled the drive shaft out of the one.
It measures 42 5/8" overall
The oil in the lower units is brigt blue and super thick. I thought it was grease at first but its the consistency of thick glue. Its spot clean though.
The lower housing is completely normal other than the shaft. The shift...
Only the driveshaft is longer, the shifter rod is the same as a 20" motor and the gear case housing is normal. I have a few Sail master and Yachtwin motors here an they have a long spacer but they're not nearly as long as these things.
I've been all through the 74-92 parts listings and can't...
A local junk guy who prowls the streets here on trash night brought me five OMC '74-92 style 9.9/15hp lower units. He was asking $5 each and they look new. They shift and feel fine, but two are painted a bright green, the green like Johnson used in the mid 1950's but these are 70's or 80's style...
This is why there's no way I'd sell a whole motor or any thing that subjective on eBay. Parts are another story and although its not a set it stone rule, if your ad lists USED, AS IS No Returns For Parts or Repair only and your not a problem seller eBay will generally side with the seller...
The four stroke motors didn't get any attention either, not even those that were like new.
Every motor that I put fuel to so far has fired right up but there are no fuel tanks to sell. I have one fuel tank here and its out of my boat. There were a few old pressure tanks, two looked brand new...
Its been 2 years since all of the above occurred and I wanted to come back here with some sort of update.
After two seasons listed on CL very few of the lot of motors have found homes. Basically only those with issues sold. CL and FB produced zero sales, all of those that sold were sold by word...
The cast prop is black, it could be teflon I suppose.
Its a lot heavier than a Solas ss prop that I have for my boat, its at least as much heavier than the bright ss prop as the ss prop is over a stock aluminum prop.
I have two Snap On compression gauges, one is specifically for small engines...
I have the motor completely torn down now, only the two rods and pistons remain in the power head, and about 5 water jacket bolts and one coil bolt that broke off at the top remain. One piston is about 1/2" down, the other is just above the ports. The bottoms of the cylinders are lightly rusted...
A neighbor of mine passed away and they put all his boat stuff out of the trash this morning. I just spent an hour dragging it down the street.
He was an avid fisherman but I guess his kids aren't.
They sold the boat because it had a title, but gave me the trailer, 15 motors, and a half dozen...
I pretty much run and prop these to run around 5800 RPM max, so the carb won't be a big issue if I do use that carb.
I ended up burchering the mid and power head to get the driveshaft free.
I cut the mid in two places, removing a chunk from the middle with a circular saw, that went quick. I...
I have a flywheel lifting tool/puller, I had it hanging from the top to mount it up on the stand its on now.
The cable end was broke off flush on the starboard side, and not much more than the bolt hole was showing on the other side. That end started to mushroom so I cut it off, and drilled...
I picked up a clean looking aluminum Starcraft yesterday. I wasn't looking but it was cheap. Get it out of my driveway cheap.
Its a pretty clean boat with no salt issues, but its also got WV paperwork, which will mean a trip to the main DMV office and a month wait for the title but for now, I...
I've got an '88 35hp here right now that I picked up for parts to fix another one with a busted up skeg and anticav plate. I've had it soaking for a year and its not budged. The power head won't turn and when I flipped the motor over on the bench it sounded like a box of rocks. One spark plug is...
