Re: outboard teardown
Alright here's the scoop......yay yay yay we got 140 compression across all cylinders. Wow I'm so exited.
So here's what I've done so far. Knowing that the block is good I scraped the old sealant off the bottom of the doner engine and the top of leg. I then put a bead of new sealant and sat her down and bolted her down. I took off the entire carb assembly as one still attached to that black plate they bolt to. I then bolted my set that was removed in the same fashion( mine were set by a marine shop). I then swapped out the fuel filter box that bolts to the engine, as well as my fuel lines.
I'm going to start the electrical soon then go to the controls and little things...
I would need a few questions answered please please please
1- Was it a good ideal to reuse the head gasket after I separated it to see inside the chambers? ( mine from my engine looks new, can I use that one or will it not seal seeing how it's shaped to a diffent head)
2- the ends of the stator look rusty, can I wire brush that?
3- should I sand the inside of the flywheel?
4- can I damage the engine in any way starting it when I think I'm ready to see if it starts up?
5- when reading the link and sink, there's a warning not to set something wrong or it will cause damage. Do I have to worry about that seeing how my carbs were set at the start or do I have to reset them cause of the swap?
6- I will have to time this beast seeing how I changed all the elect...can someone guide me threw this. I've never done timing.
I know it's a lot of questions, lol but were almost there and I just don't want to screw something up.
Thanks again for your ongoing knowledge and willinness to help a stranger.
