Gamefisher Model 217.586752 7.5hp Outboard

[sparksnsuch]

My Gamefisher is a model 217.586752 7.5hp outboard, the serial # is 68078102, the block # is 277710,the carb is Tecumseh part # 632632 <br /><br />What should the initial setting be on the idle adjust needle (part #24 in the pic)? What's the proper procedure for installation? Does the protrusion on the knob (part #18 in the pic) have to face a particular direction when reinstalling the needle?<br /><br />What is the proper procedure for removing and replacing the prop shaft seal on this motor?<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any help.<br /><br />Dave <br /> <br />

I dont have specifics on your motor but most<br />start one turn out from gently bottomed.<br /> Then adjust to the best setting running under load warmed up.Knob is simply an indicator<br />of the position of the screw. It only needs to be positioned so you can adjust the screw without<br />restriction.Adjust the high speed screw first.<br />My manual doesnt cover your motor.You should<br />have a manual before performing any service on <br />your motor.I think there is a site, repair manuals.com that may have manuals for your motor.<br />also certified parts corp. may be able to help.<br /> My manual covers many brands 60-72 cost about $15<br />on ebay.Sometimes they can be found at the library.

Spike,<br />Thanks for the info pard. I have the "Tecumseh Technicians Handbook 2 Cycle Engines" Way cool informative book, but a little scetchy on info as to installing the type of idle adjust needle my carb has. The outboard carb shown in the book had a slightly different type needle arangment. The carb pic in my first post was scanned from my owner's manual. Found out that the part #s listed in the parts list in my owner's manual were actual Tecumseh #s. Ordered the required carb parts for the rebuild from http://www.rcpw.com/Oem_Parts.htm <br />they had some parts the Sears did not and were cheaper overall.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dave
