    Help

    Thank you Jeff. I just made an expensive eBay purchase/decision. I appreciate your feedback. I'm determined to get this old girl humming again. I did get it running for about 2.5 hours in a 20 gal garbage can but she wouldn't restart. I attempted to make some "2 Spark" coils to work, and...

    1952 Mercury Super 10 Cruiser

    I recently purchased a 1952 Merc. KH7. I'm about to give up on the Bendix/Scitilla magneto. I modified and installed some "2 spark" coils and new condensers, dressed the points and I ran it for about 2 1/2 hours in my 20 gal. garbage can. Then I thought I was ready for sea trials. It won't...

    KH7 telltale placement

    I'm posting to ask if anyone knows tha proper place to drill the engine block on a KH7 for a tell tale ("pee hole") on the 20 C.I. Merc block. I have a nice 1/16" NPT tap and a brass fitting. I just don't want to punch the hole in the wrong place. There's a You Tube vidio where a guy thinks...

    Need some Merc KH7 advice

    I recently bought a very nice 1952 KH7 Super 10 Cruiser. I've rebuilt the carb, the magneto and water pump check out OK. Now I want to replace the crankshaft seals. I don't want to mess-up this 66 year old gem. Do I need a "seal puller"? I've never seen or used one but it is referenced in...

    1952 Mercury KH7 outboard engine

    I just bought a 1952 Mercury KH7 outboard. I'm waiting for some special tools to remove the flywheel and water pump impeller. Has anyone had any experience with this engine? Anything I should look after - heck, it's only 66 years old, what could go wrong. I think I may have posted something...

    New boat and motor

    Two weeks ago I bought a 1975 Sears 12' aluminum boat. I have run the boat with a restored 1960 Johnson 3 H.P. engine. Nice little boat and it doesn't leak a bit. I was thinking about next season when I would buy a 10 - 15 H.P. motor for it. Then on Craig's List I found a 1952 Mercury Super...

    Johnson 3 H.P.

    Hey, if any of you guys or gals are sitting on a decent Johnson/Evinrude 3 H.P. power head and don't know what to do with it you may have a buyer. I have a 1952 Johnson and the bottom cylinder is toast. I could scrap the old girl for the aluminum but she's lasted 66 years. Hate to put her in...

    1952 - 1954 Johnson 3 H.P.

    I'm 70 years old and have been yanking recoil starters for about 60 years - grew-up on Keuka Lake (New York Finger Lake). Yep. always engage the drive dogs before I pull. However, you never know when the 66 year old main recoil spring is going to give-up-the-ghost. I still say that this 52'...

    1952 - 1954 Johnson 3 H.P.

    I just bought a boat with a Johnson 3 H.P. motor. The motor model is JW-10, SN - 980600. I know a JW-10 was made from 52' to 54'. Is there any way to determine the exact year of manufacture? The engine runs pretty well but it does surge a-little bit at 3/4 throttle. Possibly because the...

    Used aluminum 12' boat

    Thanks KJ. That opens my search field a whole lot. I just restored a 1960 Johnson 3 H.P. which should be fun for this season (I'd send you a picture but I don't know how to here). I plan on running on a small river here in Port Huron Michigan - the Black River. It's funny the boat comes with...

    Used aluminum 12' boat

    I don't know if I should post this here. It's not engine related. I just bought an old Sears 12' aluminum boat. Do any of you have any suggestions on removing the oxidation on the hull? Sort of "spiffing" it up. Triple 0 steel wool? Any ideas? I'd like to make her look pretty again...
