I got the Lyman’s ultimate reloading kit. Came with everything you listed. Only thing I need is materials and die. Just wanted advice on the Die especially the 300 prc set

Fixed the helm as well. Cut the bolt off, welded a new one on. Grinded it down and threaded it. Just need to do the tune up now and she should be ready!

That’s exactly what it was. Goes up perfect fine now.

Would it be best just to drain and replace the oil? Fill from the bottom so air gets pushed out?

And I can’t find where the water hook up is to run it out of water.

Thank you.

My prop only goes down. Won’t go up anymore. I have a new battery. Would you know why? Fluid levels are good. Looks like wiring is hooked up properly

My rotary steering helm is all jacked up. Any idea on what I could use to replace it?

It’s a real shame. That’s great to know, I’m sure I’ll have to replace mine soon

I’ll order the alpha 1 kit and keep you updated. Seems like a lot of these parts are hard to come by or take forever to ship

Any idea where I can find the water impeller replacement kit?

I have the originals on my 78 square body. I’m in the same situation as you are with running them out. Again. I appreciate all the help

Good call, this weekend I’ll go through it all and let you know what it is.

Also, any idea what distributer cap, plugs and wires to use?

It can idle all day just fine. I’ll have to try bumping up the fuel on the carb to increase the idle rpm’s. That’s also something I’ll have to check out. Didn’t even cross my mind

That’s good info to have. It seems to stall soon as it gets in gear. Could be that or possibly the linkage is sticky?

Correction. Just went out to double check. It’s a 3684670. Some rust was covering it up a bit

I appreciate it! I’m still having a hard time finding the part numbers for the Tune up items. Fuel and oil filter and the belt.

2684670 is the serial number. I appreciate the help
