Ahh ok she is an old pre crosflow approx 69' but with modified bits n bobs , hadn't been run in 20 years to what I was told , set the point. Clean the carb n after a few turns fires in to life , she over heated pulled the head to find no water ways as full of rust n shite, washed it all out with fresh water ( and alot in the sump?) Cleaned n draind now runs great bare ages teathing probs , getting between 6-10 mph so not bad on tidal Thames

Just found a manual for the box and is stated 20/50 or 50 engine oil ( same as the engine The point is where I'm located now

Used to was ment to say ! Was meant to say I'm used to having damper or drive plates fitted I've never worked on a boat without one and didn't expect the part of the gears come out the gearbox

Sweet thanks all will give it a go n get it off UST to them having a damper / drive plate !

Hi all have a oil leak at the rear of the engine I have removed the gear box but seems a gear stays atatched to the flywheel is this normal ? Looks as though it just bolts to the flywheel bolts ( to crank ) It in a Eastwood 24 if that helps Also what oil should go in the gear box
