Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

Hello to all,

Nobody knows the answer to my question above? I'm sure most of you have already separated the main drive shaft from the gearbox before!

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

I need your help again! For my CPCL engine, when I disassembled the square drive shaft from the gearbox, 2 corroded washers came out. https://i.imgur.com/OgbbPkhl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pZuRgcBl.jpg And this is the top view of my gearbox, you can see where I replaced a new pin as the old one was to...

Re: Seagull powered submarine

It looks a bit top heavy... is it stable while navigating on the surface?

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

I received some spare parts from John and now I started the reassembly. I'm sure I will realize the need for other parts as I progress. My exhaust tube's chrome was too damaged to keep, so I sanded and polished it. Now it's plain copper, I hope it will keep its shine a bit. It's still battered becau...

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

I got a brand new set of whitworth spanners!!! It will be very useful to re-assemble the thing. https://i.imgur.com/COIP8SEl.jpg I finally dismounted the damaged half of my crankcase, broken at the stub holding the tiller. https://i.imgur.com/s2qVYUol.jpg I've sent the two parts to one of my friends...

original transom bracket

I guess you knew about these, I just saw this picture on a small boats page in Facebook, it seems that this particular bracket allows you to turn your outboard a full 360 degrees

it looks good !

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

Thanks for the tip Johanna!

I think it will be great to coat these pieces once freed, before I screw them again.

But now, I need a liquid that will find it way inside, between the seized parts, so I can separate them... coca cola ? gasoil ?

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

Hi Geofflena, I think you're right, it's just that my socket wrench was not fully aligned with the nut. I need a set of spanners. Anyway, I removed the nut with a wrong metric spanner, but gently and after applying heat. Yesterday I made giant progress, and got most of the parts separated, including...

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

Hi, not too many problems to remove the flywheel compared to other stuff I must still separate. Right now I'm stuck with the exhaust pipe for example. It cannot slide down (due probably to dirt and rust that accumulated) to give me access to the water pipe attachment nut, but also I cannot lift the ...

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

Thanks a lot Collector Inspector, I followed your advice and the base plate came out suddenly https://i.imgur.com/E8BXRzBl.jpg You can see the crankshaft is a bit bent on top, I'll see if I can straighten it. I then removed the cylinder head, no problem at all, surprisingly. https://i.imgur.com/ueAq...

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

Finally I removed this screw without damaging it too much.

But then how to remove the ignition base plate ? it doesn't move at all... should I hit it upward with a hammer ?

Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)

With the help of my son, I managed to remove the flywheel of my engine. https://i.imgur.com/Z7kda1Hl.jpg First question: in order to access to the cranckase, I guess I have to remove the ignition base plate, right ? And in order to do this, I guess I must remove this screw in the center, right ? htt...
