Re: Lightwin Problems

Yea thats what I was going to say too Steve. One other thing about these 3 horse motors too, is never pull the drive shaft out of the lower unit. Its a real pain to get the drive shaft back into the pinion gear. I spent hours messing around and getting one back in line in the pinion gear. I did it though without pulling the prop shaft assembly.
also, use a light coat of sealer on the top and bottom of the wear plate, so exhaust gases don’t prevent water from getting into the water pump. I just faught this issue recently.
