unseizing a 1956 gale wards outboard
runs good!! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
We had a Sea King 5 hp back in the day, circa 1970. It was on a 12’ Wards v hull aluminum boat. Our motor was a little different, but not by much, or it could be my memory. That little 2 cylinder 5 hp could pull a kid on a skimboard easily…it had a lot of power for a 5. Ours was blue, had the gas tank on top, a slide knob throttle, and the mixture twist knob. For reverse the motor had to be spun 180 degrees to go backwards.
I would love to see a water test on a 12’ boat.
I sold this one a while ago. I’ll see if I come across another!
Nice Video .Thanks just picked up a seized 1953 5hp sea king Free ! whoohoo. went through a flood last year or so. got it unstuck and ready to fire it up . runs but only if i squirt little fuel in carb intake need to verify pump working ? should pump if in neutral i would think?
Are you sure your motor has a pump? IF i recall you should have the tank above the motor like this one. If so something is clogged somewhere fuel wise assuming your compression is ok and spark it working! let me know I would love to help more!! Thank ALSO dont for get to sub up!!!
@@BlackoutBilll21 it runs great but dont see water stream out on a( tattle tale/ tell tale) and engine gets real hot quick so i don't run it long.
Years ago before they sold coils for these we used duco cement to glue the coils back together and a piece of tape on the bottom to insulate the ignition plate. Ran good.
oh man i could use that on my pre 50s motors!!! cant find new coils ANYWHERE!!
Thankyou for this great video.
i subbed to you as well!! thanks!
Hey Bill, I have a 58 Sea King 3. I am curious about the little impeller piece, do you grease that part? The service manual I have found for it, and the Gale motors manual (seems like the same exact motor) doesn't say anything about lubrication for that area. Just the grease for the lower unit is mentioned. I am hesitant to grease it because of how it works, I don't want grease up in the water inlet, water tube, etc....
EDIT: The area did have a bunch of grease when I took it apart though... I am curious to see if the prop shaft seal is going to be leaking grease from the lower unit.
They don’t make seals for that one anymore so most likely they were using grease to hold water out. Do NOT grease the water “impeller” or wobbler as it is usually called!
@@BlackoutBilll21 Thanks! Any ideas on resealing the cylinder head cap? I removed it not knowing it isn't supposed to be removed. I was thinking steel epoxy but not sure about the heat.
Because it is leaking.... :(
@@steveburke3 unfortunately no. I’m bad at customization lol. Bolt on bolt off for me… I would try permatex gasket maker or they make a steal epoxy.
Sea kings not working in bad condition go for easy $400.00 restored around from 1,200-5,000
really??? where? lmao I have 2 that run great!!!
Hi i have a 53 5hp sea king does the propeller gear take oil or grease
Is it a direct drive? Or does it have a shifter for reverse?
Ok 53 should have the spring neutral lever? If it does it takes oil
No shifter direct drive
Matt Hasting and no lever for neutral?
Where’s the water pump? in the leg? Or behind the prop?
This was truly helpful! It's hard to find good information about this motor. Where did you do most of your research?
You’re looking at it my brother lol this google and iboats. Plus once you realize this motor is basically the same as Johnson’s and Evinrude it’s pretty much all the same
Are you rebuilding the carb in your socks and underwear?😆..they are great little motors
hahaha INDEED I am! nice catch lol
Nicely done! It's a great feeling to resurrect a vintage outboard. Keep up these vids.
if they keep running i'll keep buying lol
