Re: 1.5 Sea King water pumping

These are the aluminum castings. Three of my five motors have gotten very hot after a minute or so of running. I’ve stopped them or they quit at that time. Another one is apart and the last is a slick original I don’t want to risk hurting. Two of the runners do exhibit flaking paint on the cylinder from heat or the lack of primer. That paint isn’t discolored. They don’t look to have been stored outside or abused any more than normal wear and tear.
One interesting point, the best one has a tab standing off from the bock to stabilize the fuel line. A 1/2" by 2" piece of aluminum sheet the fuel line runs through to keep it from shaking. Painted the same color as the motor.
