Older Sea King 5hp (air cooled)

[styles038]

I was tearing apart my buddies 5hp when i took off the lower unit. Before i put it back on i want to make sure i replace the grease with just grease? Does anything special supposed to go in here?

Just grease. Most people use Lubriplate 105. It's called "Motor Assembly Grease" and get it at atuo parts stores.

It has to be a fairly light grease. In a pinch, I've mixed gearlube and axle grease. 105 is best. Hypoid would work, but the seals aren't all that great.

Thanks. I'm a strict amsoil guy so i was just going to throw some amsoil synthetic grease in there.

Can anyone tell me what year this 5hp air cooled motor is by the model number K5001109A? I'm looking for the correct fuel mixture (24:1 or 50:1)
