Re: 1973 Wards Sea King 7hp Neutral Clutch

[Buccaneer]

I set up the Sea King in the test barrel with a gravity feed lawnmower tank to the original impulse fuel pump,
and had it running in about six pulls. I was surprised how well it ran, and especially how well it idled down.
It did pull start a little stiff I thought, but perhaps it would be easier if the neutral clutch wasn’t disabled.
Now that I know it runs, perhaps I’ll buy an impeller to cool the exhaust housing…… had my doubts if the
old impeller was pumping. Maybe I’ll even come across a working neutral clutch.
Nice to see my $20 purchase wasn’t a complete loss!

Prepare to be boarded!
