    I'll see if I can pick up a short shaft. Also I was thinking, maybe I can find someone who want to trade their short shaft parts for my long shaft ones.

    Dad picked up some water cooled two stroke oil yesterday. He got like a gallon, so we should be set for life.

    Also, this engine has the lower unit extension that dad would like off. What parts would I need to change out to do that?

    Sooo... I took the drain plug out... and out came a lot of stuff that looks, smells, and acts like water. So I took the the very lower part of the gear case of and all the gears apart and everything looks really great. No rust, scratching or scoring. I found the seal kit. I also checked the...

    So I should be fine with the generic stuff you find at the stores, I don't need any special specifications or anything?

    What's the best gear oil to use? It just says "Use hypoid oil".

    It is. The o-rings are cracked and leak a little. I'm waiting on the kit to get here. It works for now.

    Thanks for the heads up! With the way the wind blows you saved me from some explaining to dad. (Our house is old and doesn't hold out smoke or anything else very well.) My secret plan is to restore it, the only hold up would be cost of paint and other materials.

    Thank you so much! That's all the info I couldn't find. I haven't even checked the coils, I just wanted to see if I could get it running and maybe it wouldn't need anything but carb work. But seeing it does the flywheel's coming off today.

    I am aware of that, but if I don't keep pumping gas into the bowl it'll die before it builds up enough pressure to pump by itself.

    Thanks for the help! I'll set the points today. I already synchronized it. The needle's in good condition, but I know I need to replace the hoses. I'll try that way of tuning the high speed. (The manual said 3/4 of a turn, which I was having trouble believing.) It is still using the two hose...

    Thanks! I am definitely going to fine tune it on the water. I was just trying to make sure it runs before I have dad take me to the lake.

    I'll get some quality stuff. (I've always been leery of oil from Wally world, anyway!)

    Thanks! I'll get some proper oil. We usually have it, but I just ran out mixing for another engine. And yes sir, that's the manual I have! That's where I got it too. It's a good one, but there are SO many pages.

    I have it on the boat with about a 30 gallon barrel under it and water about 6"-8" over the holes. I've only ran it in the barrel, not dry EVER. I've just been running it in neutral, I never thought of taking the prop off but since you mentioned it I'll take it off. Since you said timing might...
