Thanks Bill.

I was hoping to find a site glass as well if possible.

I have a dim memory of an old Outboarder article about renewing one of those with a gasoline resistant clear acrylic tube – maybe an article by Art Doling? You’d have to source the elbows, if you don’t already have them.

Another interesting/quirky feature of that motor is the spring-loaded checkball plumbed into the cooling line on the port side. The cooling system is a closed system, much like the Johnsons of the same period. Lockwood gave you a method of checking to see that cooling water was flowing. Looks like you have the correct prop – it is, effectively, the water pump. There’s a hole in the leading edge of each blade, right?
