I’m working on a couple of these motors too. I love to hear the pop-pop-pop of them running. Jeff at Laignes has the prop shaft seals and gaskets. But the gasket is easy to make. The drive shaft seal is hard to get to. Doug Brook at vintage outboard found a couple for me on the ebay. Search part number 550749. But some say its not worth the trouble to replace, but I’m sure you’ve read the posts concerning this.
I’m racking my brain to remember things I’ve learned while working on mine. One thing stands out. If you are freaky about gas/oil getting all over your newly rebuilt beautiful little motor, like I used to be, then your gonna be upset. I can’t figure out a way to keep it clean. Gas loves to come out of the carb.
