As if I haven't enough on my plate I am going to restore this little baby
I started off doing a compression test and one cylinder was very low not a good start As it had been sitting in a barn for the last 30 years I decided to put a bit of WD40 in and let it sit over night hoping it was just stuck rings. I did the test again and was getting 125 psi on each
Bottom
Top
I had a look at the gear oil and of course it was half full of water:grrr: it had been sitting for so long it looked like you could drink the water if you held your nose
Next I took off the air breather to have a look at the carb :eek: It looks like some sort of spider lived in here, what a mess.
Even the carb was full of spider **** or what looks like sawdust.
Can things get worse, O yes they can. I checked for a spark and guess what...........none so out with the harmonic balancer and off with the flywheel.
think I found the problem.
Parts ordered carb rebuild kit,coils,condensers and points I also want to change it to a standard fuel tank from a pressurised one so I ordered a mikuni pulse pump the plan is to get the engine to run before I decide to carry on with the rest of the rebuild.2

Well I think I found why this engine was put away, the two condenser wires were worn down from the flywheel making them earth out.
After finding this I rebuilt the carb and put in the new electrics and then this happened " click the pic"
Now time for some sanding.

whats the best way to get the fly wheel off mine is stuck solid
You need a harmonic balancer puller that bolts into the 3 holes on the flywheel they have to be kept level and only use high strength bolts as you tighten the main bolt give it a few taps with a hammer and tighten again and so on, they are a bit hard to get off but it should come. Remember when you put it back on that you have the right torque setting for the nut.
You can pick up a set like this in Halfords just make sure you use OMC bolts to screw into the flywheel.

Out with the old and in with the new, the new condensers are much lower than the old ones so they must have copped on to that problem .
Here you can see the old float next to the new one it mush have been dying of thirst the new needle valve now comes with a little clip on spring to stop it from sticking as the last one just relayed on gravity.
Rebuild kit fitted and a bit of a clean should be as good as new or even better.

All the parts after been vapor blasted by http://www.tadltd.ie/ they also do antifouling removal and have a mobile unit. The finish is dull and etched so it can get a good hold on the primer.

Not that many of you will ever change an old outboard from a pressurised fuel tank to a standard one but if you do this is how to go about it.
When you remove the intake manifold you will see two rubber check valve that go into the each crankcase chamber these send positive air down to the fuel tank.
Remove the valves and block up one of the holes, I used a vacuum line cap and cut it long enough so that when I put the manifold back on it will be held in place.
The other hole will give you the right amount of pulse pressure to work one of these a "pulse pump" so now instead of the hose going to the tank you connect it to the pump and that should now send the fuel to the carb.

The danger with the pressurised tank and fuel lines are if you have even a very small leak it can pump out a very fine mist of fuel that is easy to ignite :eek:
Also it's very hard to find the old tin fuel tanks in good nick in Ireland as they rusted away 0 -

Just some of the 27 different parts primed and painted. It will be getting new spark plugs:D
The hood has 3 colours and each one has to be fully dry before it can be masked for the next one at the moment it has the dark and light blue so just the white left to do on it along with the prop and one of the latches I will then add the decals and lacquer over it.
