I'm looking at this motor to buy and have a few questions.
(1) after looking at the parts diagram for the lower unit I notice the shift mechanism is similar to my 71 50hp except that there are no wires. it seems that they use a shift rod to operate the oil pump instead of soliniods, is this correct? and if this is correct then what gear lube to use? type "c" or 80w90?
(2) to check for spark do I have to have a battery hooked up in order to not fry the power pack?
any other info is also greatly appreciated
