8hp parts search.

[FlaLuthier]

Hey Howdy Y'all! I've been lurking and learning a bunch of good info and tips by reading previous posts as far back as I could. Most of my questions have been answered in this fashion but I finally hit the wall trying to find a Gasket and Seal set for a 82hh 8hp motor, vintage 1974. I purchased the machine from a fellow who used it up until a year ago and then just let it set. I blew some carb cleaner through it put fresh gas in the tank and it fired on the 4th pull. Durn near scared me to death. It runs fairly well but I think the fuel pump is weak and the low speed circuit on the carb is crudded up so I ordered kits for for them but in the process of tank testing I noticed a LOT of oil in the water. So I checked the lower Unit's oil and its milky as heck. Now comes the problem of finding a lower unit seal and o-ring set!! I can't find one anywhere and I have checked a dozen or more places. If anyone has knowledge of one etc. Please let me know! <br /><br />TYIA<br />Mike

Check on eBay for parts. Sounds like you could stand for a good decarb too! 74! That should be in a museum...

Well I have checked eBay and will continue to do so . I just haven't found any for this small a motor yet. Perhaps I should check with the Smith in DC. LOL Hey I've got the Dart Sport to match a 1974 Dart Sport with the Leaning Tower of Power. I can get ANY part for it easily enough for it so why not the outboards.

Take a look here and see if it's what you need, the motor is a 82HH engine but for 76 because thats as far back as they go. good luck<br /> http://www.mercruiserparts.com/Show...1/12.png&inbr=1734&bnbr=70&bdesc=GEAR+HOUSING

Eureka !!! They List one . . . although the gaskets look weird compared to the manual. Strangely enough they're in Sarasota Fla., only about 90 mins up the road. I'll give them a holler on the blower in the A.M.! THANK YOU ALL so much. <br /><br />Mike

Well I sent an email and asked if the set listed was indeed the one for my motor and got this as a reply . . . <br /><br />"Mike;<br /><br />You own a Chrysler ... no one knows.<br /><br />Don (outboardparts.com)" <br /><br />Perhaps a junk yard would be a better place for the little jewel. LOL

Hey Y'all <br /><br />I just thought I'd post a Blatant Plug for "FAIRWINDS MARINA" Their parts man Paul took the time to look up all the seals etc. I needed for my lower unit. He even called ME back to give me the good news and guote. A Visa card number later and the parts are on the way today. SUPER service and a most pleasent and efficient fellow. THANKS PAUL !! When you need parts for your Chrysler call 410-974-0758 and these folks will fix y'all right up.
