"Scott-Atwater" Firestone 3.6hp 1955

Found everything. Quite ….
Paint code ? 🙂
Or should I paint it flat black like a rat rod ? 😛

It’s your motor, do whatever you want with it. Personally, I’d paint it the right color. Reprotint has the correct color paint. http://www.reprotint.com

Great !
Thank you.
Is usually a 12 oz can enough ?

A few dents on the tank ..

Head gasket and rings received from http://www.laingsoutboards.com .
Very nice service and solid box !

How to do when you need a ring compressor 🙂

The usual first (re) start.

There’s no water circulation in the engine.
The rubber excentric as some wear, so i need to replace it.
I can’t find one specific for Scott-Atwater, but this Gale #900040 seems to be the same :

I also noticed there’s supposed to be O-rings on the water tube, but I’m not sure they are really useful.

Do you use any kind of sealer here ?
Also, the rotor is not cheap at 25$. Its shape is nice, but it shrinked.
Is there any way to have it stretch to the original size ?

Thanks.

AOMCI member Brian Wilcox makes the pump rotors for this motor.
I just got one a month or two ago from him. And he’s very reasonable.
His email address, baron0418[at]att.net
And I think the "b" needs to be capitalized.
Good Luck with your motor.

Thanks a lot Steve for the information.
I ve mailed to Douglas Penn,but he is now retired from outboard parts:)

It seems rubber can be as new ( and still reliable years after ) by soaking in brake fluid.

So i try first this.
3.99 for DOT 4, and 25 $ + shipping for an unknow rotor 😛
Guess my choice..

This motor will run, of course.
My goal is to sell it and find a 1927 / 30.

Won t make money. for sure 😛

That’s shocking news about Doug Penn.

Scott and Gale rotors are NOT the same.

Another aomci member, Bob Long also makes them.

I’ve bought from both.
