Hello out there...
I am a newbie to the forum. Have owned ol' Desperado for several years now and have done some restoration to the limits of my poor mechanical ability. She is a 1964 Starcraft 18 ft, I/O
Alumuinum hull with 110 G.M. inline 4 cyl. with what I think is an I drive.
I would be thrilled to hear from anyone else who has a similar relic as mine.I am always searching for problem solutions for the outdrive and this fall is no exception. "FROWN"
She has decided not to drain the oil from the upper gear case and it is milky. The bottom gear oil drained clean and clear. Was wondering if anyone might have an idea as to why upper oil did not drain out the drain plug because I think it should all drain from the same spot? There are two drain screws on the upper gear housing. They are on either side and paralell to each other.In the past when I have drained the oil at the lower casing the top drained as well but this year it did not.
As near as I can figure out, the outdrive is somewhere between serial#'s 1537370 and 2044033
I attempted to remove the cap on top of the housing but it seems to be attached internally to a gear or even the water pump as someone suggested.
If anyone can enlighten me as to a possible solution I would be much obliged..
Thanks in advance
