Yes to all. I'm not sure if key was in slot or not when i dropped lower unit to double check it. I'll run it down to the lake tomorrow and see if I got water coming out of the small exhaust ports and no hot light. If hot light does come on then back to square one
Cotter key was laying on the base plate when I lifted the water pump housing it makes me wonder if it fell out some how because when I put it back in the slot it was a tight fit I'm not sure to be honest thats why I checked it again. The tunes were seated I do know that
This motor has never been in the water. It's been sitting in a crate since 1968. Before I tried to start it I changed the impeller, lower unit oil, plugs, rebuilt carbs and changed all fuel lines and fuel pump and had to build a wiring harness. I finally Got it running but the hot light comes on...
I'm restoring a 1965 Lonestar Medallion and adding a guage set and I would like to hook up a water guage instead of the hot light that is on the motor now. Can this be done? any suggestions would be appreciated
I just got this engine. It's been sitting in a crate from the factory it's never been in the water. I didn't notice that it only has two upper mounting holes that are 9 inches apart. No lower mounting holes. My question is is that safe for one and are there any brackets off of other omc motors...
