Re: LU Lube Martin 7.5 Twist shift 1953
I agree that it is a nice motor, but it is currently not running. My winter project is to bring her back to life. Cosmetically she looks pretty good for her age, but mechanically...ugh! The pistons are frozen in the cylinders. I've got a parts motor that I can scavenge if it gets to that, meanwhile I'm using lots of penetrating oil.
The LU seems pretty good...turns smooth with no noise. I'll replace the pump and get some fresh lube in there until I get the powerhead moving in the right direction.
I'll cross my fingers & keep you posted!
Thanks for the reply,
