Hi Everyone,
I have been swamped with other duties, but this project is still advancing slowly.
The motor has one piston that has a scored area that I don’t like and the cylinders are heavily glazed. The crank is OK and one rod is a little rough for my liking. I managed to find a NOS powerhead for about what I would have expected to spend in parts….so that part will be taken care of.
My prop shaft has a deep wear grrove in the seal area. The most current substitute for the seal is about 1/2 of the width of the original. If i set it just into the bore, I think the seal will contact a different part of the shaft. Has anyone ever used epoxy to fill a wear groove on a otherwise good shaft?
Lloyd,
I will look you up in the directory and phone you to make arrangements for the primer seals.
