I just acquired one that doesn't appear to have had more than a few ounces of fuel run thru it, but unfortunately the previous owner didn't bother to flush and oil it, so......
The rear main bearing is bad....the front still looks like new and is very smooth
The piston doesnt rock freely on the wrist pin....got it apart, and the wrist pin is shot.
Piston and sleeve look fine, no sign of siezure.
So I'm in need of:
A new wrist pin, and a coupla sets of circlips.
Possibly a new rod.
So I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as to where to buy parts?
I've never owned an O.S. outboard, all I ever ran was K&Bs!
Haven't messed with nitro motors in a while and I can't remember what to use to clean up/ polish parts like the piston, crank, etc.
Many Thanks!!
