    FLASHING A 60 HP SCOTT GENERATOR

    They do things on the farm that are not always by the book. White was probably the closest or only wire available at the time. In answer to Flying Scotts post, my regulator is new and points set correctly so that shouldn't be an issue.

    FLASHING A 60 HP SCOTT GENERATOR

    For the benefit of others looking for this information I determined that the generator used in the 60 hp Scott is a type A generator. This can be verified by consulting the Delco Remy Service Test Specifications Bulletin #1G-186. Further information on the generator is available in the Delco...

    FLASHING A 60 HP SCOTT GENERATOR

    Thank you for the replies. Unfortunately, removing the generator is not an option as the points are part of and driven by the generator. The real problem I was hoping to solve is referred to by roadrunner when he refers to an a or b circut. I am unclear as to how to determine that and don't...

    FLASHING A 60 HP SCOTT GENERATOR

    I HAVE AN OLD 60 HP SCOTT THAT HAS A HUGE GENERATOR RATHER THAN AN ALTERNATOR AND I AM ANTICIPATING THE NEED TO FLASH THE GENERATOR SINCE IT HAS BEEN LAYING DORMANT FOR YEARS. I HAVE A GENERAL IDEA OF HOW IT'S DONE BUT WOULD FEEL BETTER IF SOMEONE KNEW FOR SURE THE PROPER PROCEDURE AND LET ME...

    60 HP SCOTT ATWATER DRIVE SHAFT

    I WOULD LIKE TO CONVERT MY 1958 60 HP SCOTT FROM AS LONG SHAFT TO A SHORT SHAFT AND UNDERSTAND THAT A DRIVE SHAFT FROM A 60 HP IS THE SAME PART AS THE DRIVE SHAFT THAT WAS USED ON THE 75 HP. IF THAT IS TRUE, IF I FIND A SHORT DRIVE SHAFT FROM A 75 HP, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THE CONVERSION. I...

    SCOTT ATWATER IGNITION COILS

    POINTS AND CONDENSER ARE FINE. THIS IS A THRE CYLINDER ENGINE AS YOU KNOW, SO WHEN I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM, I SIMPLY SWITCHED THE COIL THAT WAS SUSPECT TO ANOTHER CYLINDER THAT WAS GIVING ME A GOOD SPARK. IT THEN CONTINUED TO GIVE NO SPARK AND THE GOOD COIL CONTINUED TO GIVE ME A GOOD BLUE...

    SCOTT ATWATER IGNITION COILS

    I TRIED AOMCI, BUT NO LUCK SO FAR. THE ONLY SUGGESTION I GOT WAS TO TRY A COIL FROM AN OLDER OMC ENGINE. TRIED THAT-NO LUCK. HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE BAD COIL. IT IS A REPCO COIL, BUT I SEE NO PART NUMBER ON IT. IF I COULD COME UP WITH A PART NUMBER (OTHER THAN THE SCOTT NUMBER) MAYBE I COULD...

    SCOTT ATWATER IGNITION COILS

    I HAVE A 1958 60 HP SCOTT ATWATER THAT HAS A BATTERY OPERATED IGNITION SYSTEM MUCH LIKE ONE WOULD FIND IN AN AUTOMOBLE OF THAT ERA. IE, POINTS CONDENSERS AND ONE COIL FOR EACH CYLINDER. IT IS NOT A MAGNETO OPERATED SYSTEM. ONE OF THE COILS IS BAD AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE ODDS OF...

    1958 SCOTT 60 HP FUEL PUMP

    THANK YOU. THAT'S THE REPLY I WAS LOOKING FOR, AND MAKES SENSE. I'LL GO WITH THE MECHANICAL PUMP AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE ELECTRIC PUMP. ONE OTHER QUESTION, I'M ABOUT TO START THE SEARCH FOR THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER AND FROM WHAT I SEE, IT'S GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE. HAS ANYONE COME UP WITH AN...

    1958 SCOTT 60 HP FUEL PUMP

    HERE ARE THE PHOTOS YOU REQUESTED. THE PARTS BOOK CLEARLY SHOWS AN ELECTRIC PUMP IN THE JUNCTION BOX, BUT INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, I CANNOT FIND A MECHANICAL PUMP LISTED ANYWHERE IN THE PARTS MANUAL. THE PHOTO OF THE ENGINE SHOWS THE AREA I BELIEVE THE MECHANICAL PUMP SHOULD BE AS EVIDENCED BY THE...

    1958 SCOTT 60 HP FUEL PUMP

    I RECENTLY ACQUIRED A 58 FLYING SCOTT 60 HP AND I'M CONFUSED ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP. THE ENGINE WAS NOT COMPLETE WHEN I GOT IT, AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS MISSING. THERE APPEARS TO BE A MECHANICAL PUMP LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MOTOR THAT IS NOT THERE. ACCORDING TO THE PARTS BOOK...

    I have a 1989 Yamaha 30 hp and currently have the lower unit off for seal replacement.when I took it apart, I noticed a 1/4" black plastic hose attached to a hose barb that screws into the very front of the lower unit. It is capped off and doesn't go anywhere, nor does it appear to do anything...

    9.9 honda oil leak

    I have a 9.9 honda , probably about a 1995 or so which is leaking oil when it is running. A very visible film can be seen on the water when it is running at the dock, and I can't tell where it is coming from. I originally bought this as a parts engine and after taking the parts I wanted off of...

    Seal Question 1955-6 Mark 58

    I Have An Old 1955 Or 1956 Mark 58 That I Am Restoring And In The Process, I Removed The Gear Shift Rod Seal. Unfortunately, It Took Some Time To Chase Down A Replacement Seal And Now That I Am Ready To Put It Back Together, I Can't Remember Which Way The Seal Goes. I'm Hoping There Are Some Old...

    1958 Merc Mark 55 lower unit removal

    I recently acquired a Merc Mark 55, probably a 1958 or thereabouts, and need to remove the lower unit. I have it unbolted and have the reverse lock disconnected, but the lower unit will not drop down more than about 1/2". From the diagrams I have found on the internet, it apprears the shift...

    Stringer 400 end clearance.

    I have a 1985 Stringer 400 outdrive which I am in the process of resealing. I had the pinion gear in the lower unit out in the process, and in putting it back in, I noticed about .030" end play. That just doesn't seem right to me although I didn't really check for endplay before diassembling it...
