![]() ![]() Beside these issues, what other things should I look for to fix before I give this thing a good test run on the water? I'd hate for it to blow up on me first time out. I am getting water through the shaft and out the top holes so I'm assuming the pump is still good. The gaskets for the oil hole screws still look good so I don't believe the oil is leaking out from there. I'm hoping after I install the gasket and refill the oil that this problem is solved. I already opened the lower gear part and noticed it had almost no oil in the gear case so I ordered the gasket (the very bottom one for the lower gear case) from Sears. It starts on the second pull almost everytime and runs pretty good although I've only ran it in a bucket for no longer then 10 minutes. ![]() I just picked up an old 1975ish 5.5hp Ted Williams Sears Eska 217.59980 for $80 bucks.
