Re: Anybody have a line for OMC King Cobra parts???
Im in desprate need for upper half, shift part Have no friggin idea how this guy that tried fixing broke it?? Got it in parts have it all together but the Bell Crank is broke??? OMC# 0986194 or they had a kit with the pin 3854146 BELLCRANK & PIN. That would be awsome if someone has one laying around!!!!
Howdy,
Welcome Aboard! It's VERY helpful if you post the actual model number (year, make, model, etc) you have.
I am sure that you did a google search though and found that all the OMC parts retailers have listed that thing as no longer available (a LOT of hard parts for that rare and obsolete drive are no longer available as you have probably surmised)
If you have the old (broken) part, and you have all the pieces and you cannot find one used or new collecting dust on some dealer's shelf, I would suggest having a machine shop make one for you.
This will be how it goes for this drive .....break something and you may have to peruse the junk yards or have someone make a one-off part to fix it. Certain models of Big-Block OMC cone clutch drives have a raw water pump impeller that no longer exist!
Sorry about that.......... I had a similar problem with my previously installed 460 King Kobra engine and drive. I fixed it by removing it all and replacing with a (much newer and fully supportable) Mercruiser engine and drive. I sold all the OMC parts while they were still worth something.
Good luck!
