Good day
First off let me say what a great and helpful place this is.
I've recently inherited an "Eaton's Viking 12HP Delux outboard model 12D17V" I believe it is a 1958.
The motor has not been run in about 18 years, when I pulled the spark plugs, the one plug came out with the cylinder head threads still attached:facepalm:.
Could someone possibly tell me if there is a replacement head for this unit?
I've done a good amount of research (days actually) and I am unable to find anything. I have found a small amount of parts for this motor in the Sierra catalog but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Unles there is a picture I'm completely lost and just guessing
.
My other option is to repair the head but since I'm not a mechanic I'd really hate to screw it up beyond repair so replacing is the better option for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
