i came to my senses and went to the auto parts store and bought a roll of gasket material and made a new gasket. This is the cover I was talking about

ran the motor again in a 55 gallon drum and still no water, i pulled everything apart and blowed thru the lines and pulled the power head and blowed thru the water jackets and no blockages found. i put it back together ran it again and now im pumpimg water! the only thing im a little worried...

The impeller on this model is below the plate, I am going to try and run it again this afternoon but gonna use 55 gallon drum to make sure I have enough water.

I had it in a 5 gallon bucket with water above the plate but not sure if it was a couple of inches or less

got my new impeller in but am having troubles. First thing is gas is running out of every possible path on the carb, i think the PO let it soak in a bucket of carb cleaner and it destroyed all the gaskets. Second thing is no water coming from tell tale, i can put my finder over the hole and...

thanks for the heads up i have it set now to the 9/16" advance. i have a few gas leaks to tackle next , the fuel inlet elbow on the side of the carb looks to be leaking and the fuel shutt off on the bottom of the tank. I think im going to eliminate the fuel shut off and custom make a simple...

Took the tank off and looked for timing marks and couldn’t find any. What I did notice was a price of wire that connected the main butterfly to the choke butterfly and it appeared to bind the throttle when I actuated it. I removed the wire and adjusted the set screw on the speed lever to enagage...

Yea I pulled the flywheel and it looks like someone has recently replaced the coils, points and condensors. The flywheel is also extremely clean, almost as if it was replaced as well. The fuel system is the only thing that looks like it has not been touched since new. The gas tanks on these...

Thanks, I will pull the gas tank off this afternoon and have a closer look, hopefully I will have the new impeller next week so i can run it for more than a few seconds to able to perform some fine tuning.

The manual i have states the following: "When the speed control lever is moved towards the "Fast" position, the ignition timing is being advanced and the throttle opening must be increased at the same time. The correct synchronization is accomplished when the throttle...

I was able to get the motor to briefly run in a barrell but stopped due to no water coming from tell-tale. I opened the lower unit and found the impeller was shot (new one on order). I was not able to run the motor enough to get any indication of where its at tuning wise but while working the...

Hello all, I am in the process of aquiring a 1952 Scott atwater 7.5 (model 3325) and was wondering if anyone has any information on these? I am really interested in where to get ignition parts and a new impeller however I am not sure of the part numbers i need to cross reference. Any help would...

Wanted to give a brief update, as far as I am concerned the boat is complete, I have been fishing out of it almost every day for the past several weeks and absolutely love it. I was originally just going to leave the wood as is but found some carpet at a good prices and decided to try it out. I...

I was able to work on the transom this weekend, I finally settled on just using a 2x10 instead of plywood. I added a peice of aluminum angle to the bottom of the board that i plan to use as a mount point for a transom brace if I ever decide to add a small outboard to it. I pulled the boat from...

Love the fish finder, let me know how it works for ya.

The seam graft is pretty good, doesnt flex or leak however I have some aluminum square tubing that will be used as a reinforcement bracing to make sure I dont flex the welds. I currently have a bow mount trolling motor and will be adding a transmon mount later on to get me from point A to B (I...

Hello all, I found this forum while searching for ideas on modding my little john boat. It started life as a 1232 and has now become a 1250. I have had the boat out a few times and it has worked great (no leaks and very stable). I am in the process of cleaning up the inside and repainting. I...

Hello everybody, new member here from Central KY (inbetween Rough River Lake and Nolin Lake). I have been working on a heavily modified flat bottom John Boat and found this site through google searches. I mainly fish for Crappie/Catfish/Bluegill but take whatever is biting. Thanks
