HI folks. i have a sportfour 65 hp from 68 and i think its time to do some service! the engine stod still for a few years now but i ran just fine for about 3 years ago. i just started her up i a barrel of water and the engine is running!
first think is that ist going hot on the first cylinder fairy fast but stay coold on all the ohter cylinders, what can be the reason for this and what shuld i do? its spray lots of water out the upper exhoust when starting up but decreases when the engine gets hoter. is it normal? im going to replace the impeller anyway since i never done it and i had the engine for about 12 years.
now to remove the lower unit? can i just pull it apart or must or where do i splitt the shift rod?
resum?:
1. first cylinder runing hot. why is that and what to check, do? is it just a bad waterpump or do i have a leak in the cylinderhead gasget?
2. how to remove the lower unit and is there any main think i must concern of?
3: is there any other main thinks i should check i terms of service? exept the fule and ignition system that i think is in realy good conditions.
i had this engine since i was 15 or so and i realy like it and i want to ceep
it alive and running so if you can help me ill be glad.
