After weeks of soaking it in penetrene, and hitting it with an impact driver, i ended up resorting to drilling the head out on that one. Once the head was off and tension was released, the rest screwed out easily, but it was not going to budge as it was (didn't help that it had been sitting outside ...

Haha will do! Our boat is a bit big for this little guy to push along very quickly, but i will chuck it on next time i get the boat out and post back a Vid for ya. I am on the hunt for an old timber 10ft dingy to run my collection of outboards on, unfortunately anyone that has one isnt keen on letti...

Thanks Boyd, that would be great! The Sportsman's (i I have the complete one and then a parts one) are both rope start models. And Thanks Spiro, I am really pleased with it! I wish i had of had the for thought to get a before photo, but i am a bit excitable when i actually get time to work on my mot...

Hi all, Thought I would post up some pics of my victa jet that I recently finished restoring.

Cheers for the advice guys, and sorry for not getting back on here sooner, have been very sick for the last week! New impeller has been ordered, and the motor certainly won't be seeing the water again till it is replaced. Only had it running for about 5 minutes if that when I have it the test run so...

Yep, I'm pretty sure this one doesn't have the thermostat, and as Boyd said, the water exits through the exhaust casing. I have cleaned all the outlets and it does spray water out, however on a 50 year old motor that appears to have had no maintenance on it at all over the years, I imagine the impel...

Hi all, Pretty new to restoring old outboards. Have been restoring old Mowers/edgers/Chainsaw etc for a couple of years but came across this little 5 horse a few months back and decided to give outboards a go. Have since acquired a couple more (yes, one is a seagull) and am on the hunt for more! Any...
