[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 35036, member: 55"] Got the motor last night. He ran it in a tank for us. Still needs a few things fixed in the upper end, as he put the idle adjust in backwards. It wouldn't be practical for us to check the lower unit lube at his place, so we chanced it, and upon getting home, it came out a nice milky white. Great. That makes 2 dead lower units for '74 - '75 Evinrude 40s. But, upon disassembling the lower unit, all the gears and bearings are in perfect condition, so we just need to replace seals to stop the leak, as opposed to 450 dollars worth of bearings, shafts, and gears in the other one we had. Glad I didn't check the lube at his place, because if I did, I wouldn't have bought the motor, assuming the insides were in bad condition. It does need a starter, but I think I know where I can get one of those..... :D I also needed to nab a couple parts off the '74 to get the tiller that I got on ebay to fit this one. Having a parts motor sure makes life a lot easier. Gonna hafta keep that in mind in the future. [/QUOTE]
