1958 Mercury Mark 58ae 45HP Progress
I installed the new timing belt (kinda tricky) and the magneto (points gapped at .008")with new plug wires, and installed the new spark plugs (gapped .025").
I'm STILL without a 5/8" Allen wrench to remove the lower unit so I can replace the impeller with a new one. Hopefully this afternoon that part of the project will be accomplished. I'll change the lower unit lube after installing the new impeller.
And then...
(drum roll)
I'll stick the lower unit in a barrel of water and START IT UP!!!
Damn, I hope it starts.
