Hey again guys,
1969 Merc 1000ss serial 2685637.
I've got the powerhead completely disassembled, and I'm at the stage of servicing the reed cages. I know they aren't supposed to be an airtight seal on the crankshaft, but I can wiggle them side to side about 1 to 2 millimeters... is that acceptable?
The reeds and stoppers all look good, some were just stuck with old fuel mixture gum. They've since cleaned up nice however. I'm really hoping to not have to invest (track down) replacement cages here..
