And Cajun, thanks for the info! I have had every single piece of this motor apart, my first one, and I think I did OK for a first shot. I got straight A’s in both semesters of small engines in college, but I always had to get my buddy Rich to get them going after I re-built them! He could go over to my project that had failed to start numerous times, adjust a couple of things, and Bang Zoom, RUNNING! That was not me, so I think I have had a small success here.
No problem, that is what our club is about. We all had our first motor and learned along the way. Those little Gale 3hp are a blast to work on and when properly maintained are great little runners.
If you need a very detailed comprehensive motor manual for your motor, then here is link to one. The link is from Richard’s Viking outboard site. Vikings are Gale motors with Eaton’s brand name "Viking" on them.

Here is a owners manual for 3D12V. Yours is a 3D11 Gale model, basically the same motor except decals and maybe cowl parts.
Post video or picture when you get her running!!
Cheers,
