Thanks Tubs, not really sure how much I’ll use it either but just wanted to know the correct way to fill it. I do use the corn head grease…I bought 6 tubes a couple of years ago and use it in all my older non shifting motors. When I originally put this g/case together I did fill it with some of the new green Mercury gear oil and turned the gear case around to try to get some oil up into the bushings then drained the oil out…hopefully it will have some lubrication until the grease gets pushed up there. I did grind a point on the bolt that locks into the bottom of the pump(not a whole lot of threads left for the jam nut)…also tested the pump out by hand in my sink and it pumps some water…YEA!! Messed around about 3 hrs with the coil and heels last nite and finally got the flywheel to turn without hitting the coils but NO SPARK. Was fed up with it by then so I called it a nite.
