Good afternoon,
I am going to be trying to revive my grandfather's old 1951 (maybe 1952) Goodyear SeaBee 12hp (Gale 12d10). It has been in storage for over 35 years (I never saw it run). The motor does spin freely, and has compression strokes. I finally got the most critical part I have been looking for, the carb's high speed adjustment knob (I may have lost over 25 yeas ago). so now I am in need of some other small parts and information. I got a copy of Gale's Service Manual version 2, and is great but does not have everything, it lacks all sizes. I need sizes and types for the following.
flywheel key:
flywheel nut:
Spark plug size:
gear case oil:
And a general explanation on the proper startup process (I am new on the whole speed control level(not the throttle) and the carb. high speed adjustment knob)with recommendations on first time in 35+ years startup (should do a little fogging oil before 1st crank?)
Thanks for your help
