Hello,
Has damaged top to driveshaft. Gearbox and shaft is not fitted, I want to find out if the motor runs (told it does by seller, 2 days ago). Engine rotates smoothly without noises and rattles (plugs removed and using pull start).
If I attached forced water feed (garden hose) to water inlet tube and ensured water p***ed through the motor and exits cleanly, Can I then ***ume that the engine can be started (without driveshaft and gearbox fitted) to confirm that it runs ok. It will just be for testing only (engine and electric start).
If motor does run smoothly, I can then strip it and repair/modify damaged crank shaft and driveshaft.
Only paid $AUS250.00 for boat/trailer and motor, fun project.
regards,
