Gido,<br /><br />You definately need a good service manual. I recently did a complete revision of my 55 HP of 1978 and couldn't have done without it. You can order manuals at several places on the internet like the link in the other reply or maybe www.kencook.com (official OMC manuals I believe) for instance. However consider shipping costs of approx $40,00 - $60,00 to the Netherlands. <br />Where are you located. I know a shop called Kohout in Oude meer (Aalsmeer) (www.kohout.nl), who also sells manuals and new/new imitation and second hand parts. Parts for these old OMC's are extremely pricey in the Netherlands. So treat all the parts you remove with care and don't loose them. Also bolts & nuts etc.. are harder to find because they are not metric. A good Harley Davidson shop or so could help a lot.<br /><br />Cor (also Dutch)
