Keep it coming sire.
Waiting for seals for the early 57 18 Ev so thought I would winterize my 58 John 5.5. Nothing came out but white sludge (motor used once for 30 min. after last refill). So tear down. Pressure test was a lot of air coming out of the exhaust hole. YECHS!
So I will follow your progress.
Finding a seal kit that one can afford AND understand has been a challenge. The last two Peterborough motors I have worked on had Chicago Rawhide seals. This motor started and ran easily AND pumped water. The paper seal under the pump housing was a mess. Maybe that was a problem.
Why are these Sierra and BRP and the #$%.com seals such a problem. They send you enough for five different models but don’t tell you anything about what’s included.
