I've seen a few of them, they were crack in the exhaust port into the water jacket near the valve guide. Is that where yours is leaking .. ??? (just curious)
I would try either :
Chris Carson on this site Chris Carson Marine Service and Supply | South Florida marine service & supply shop specializing in reed valves & re-manufacturing of outboard motor powerheads
or
New - Used Outboard Motor Parts - Marine Parts Outlet
Yep, that is where it is cracked. I guess there is a part number that supercedes this one as there were many warranty replacements. They also suggest going to a cooler thermostat in the future so that the shock of cooler water is not as great.
I will contact them. Thanks!
Thanks for your response. I have some pretty intricate TIG welding equipment, and I couldn't fix the one I tried ... :o
Small kinked up area, just out of reach to get a reasonable shot at it. Carbon / salt water in the crack and no way to clean / weld the back side of the crack, just made it impossible to fix. And I don't say that very often. :nonod:
I'm sure you priced a new one ... :eek: Let me not get started ... good luck :thumbsup:
