I drained the lube from the lower unit because it looked like it needed a change (it was dark brown and was the consistency of peanut butter). Only screw holes i could find were the ones at the exhaust port and the recessed bolt on the leading edge just in front of the water intake. I couldn?t find a way to disengage the coupling for drive. ![]() The lower unit on this model must be very unique because there seems to be no way to get it off. I put it back on and began to look at the lower unit. After carefully taking off the cover and the pull start I immediately took off the carburetor and found it to be dry and clean. When I got it into the garage, the shifter was stuck solid along with most of the bolts. My friend had complained that it was really hard to pull to start but seemed to run fine once it was started. When I received the engine it had been sitting outside on the boat exposed to the elements and not run for about 3 years. I've had a tough time finding the specific manual for this engine but with the combination of other Sea King manuals I have been able to get most of the basic maintenance done. I should start by saying the engine I?m working on is a 1977-78 Clinton Sea King Model KTV52307 Clinton Mod K753. ![]() Hello, I've read this forum for some time now while working on this old Clinton Sea King that my friend asked me to fix. ![]()
