    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Well now that I'm searching for the whole unit with seals installed, every image I see online has the seals facing the same way that mine are. Lips down (when unit is installed). If that's the case I'm gona proceed with my part as is. As for the lower unit installation, if the drive shaft is...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Which way should the driveshaft oil seal face? When I disassembled mine it was the opposite from what I have seen in a couple videos. Screen shot from video attached shows the metal face of the seal facing down, toward the driveshaft bearing. However I have seen a manual excerpt that said to put...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Chris said back in 2011: ...Grease splines on driveshaft and shift shaft. Make sure gearcase is in neutral and control is in neutral. Stick driveshaft into midsection, motor tilted all the way up. Turn flywheel with hand until driveshaft splines align. Now watch for shift shaft splines to...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    To be more specific, when I try to install the lower unit the shift shaft lines up with the shaft in the midsection. It goes in about 1/8" where there is a chamfer, before the splines start. Then if you push on the lower unit at all instead of the shafts sliding into each other, it pushes the...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Yes that is my drive key. So I have installed the impeller but I can't get the lower unit back in. I've tried neutral and forward. The shift shaft on the lower unit lines up with the collar on the one in the midsection. But it doesn't go "in" even though the splines are visually aligned. When...

    Also I have read that the shifter should be in forward, otherwise the lower unit may have trouble going back on? is this true?

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I didn't install this impeller, the guy who sold it to me did. And I assumed that the vanes were like that because he didn't twist the shaft as he installed (if he lowered housing onto impeller already on shaft). I have the woodruff key which seems to be in good condition aside from some small...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Checking around more, I see that the third image says "note, not needed for PT model." This applies to both the major parts I was missing. So I might be good, after all. Just need that impeller still

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Ok so I plan to replace the impeller now. But as I'm watching some videos I noticed something. In the videos they mention this shifting guide and say dont loose it or don't change the position. Well I don't have one at all it seems. First pic is a screen cap from youtube. The only item I have...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    After doing everything above the engine has started up after 3x 5-6 second cranks on the starter. Idles and changes rpm nicely so far. However I ran it for 1 minute (on timer) and it never shot water thru the telltale. I shut it down and check the water line from the jacket, bone dry inside...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Thanks for the advice, to address those points, I replaced the mains because they had to be removed with extractor (destroying fuel hole). I have new gaskets as they were rebuilt right before I got the engine. So I'm reusing those. Under the needle seats are brand new brass washers as well. I...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    You mean the pulse line? Yes, I am going to make absolutely certain there's no kinking. I don't think it can route much different but I can shorten it a bit and add the springs. So my plan is 1. rebuild the carbs (ultra sonic cleaned), with 3x new floats, 3x new main jets, and block crossover...

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I was trying to show how one of the pulse hoses is kinked (lower left in photo). It kinks right as it exits the pumps and turns right. And yeah, that screw had been changed to a longer screw, I have not investigated why yet, but it was clamping (not stripped threads). They may have just lost the...

    Also my balance lines seem to be in OK condition (rubber is not hard). But they are painted as is someone painted the block and left them installed.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    My lines do not have any springs in them because they've been replaced already. Here's a pic I took before disassembling everything, which shows that the line is somewhat kinked. Since I am replacing the lines should I purchase some springs at the hardware store? I looked at images online and it...

    I was talking about #28-30 in the same drawing, which runs directly next to the vertical fuel hose feeding the carbs.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    Thank you. did you see my earlier question about the vacuum (or pulse, I have seen it called) lines on the engine block, if I should replace them and if so are they also fuel hose or another type of hose? I"m thinking of replacing them since they accessible right now.

    1150 Link & Sync Question

    I was doing reading about the fuel line size and people said the bigger the better and 3/8" is ideal. However in the store I looked at the 3/8" and it was visibly way too large. There was 5/16" on there originally which seemed appropriate. Just wondering if 5/16" is suggested for use with the 1150?
