thank you for chiming in, you listed some things i never even thought of doing. some of the pm,s i,ve got gave me some good ideas also. one guy was kind enough to offer me a tool where you remove the distridutor and you take a drill and it fits the oil pump so you can turn the oil pump and prime the oil. one guy suggested to remove the coil wire and crank the engine over while fogging the engine real heavy like when you winterize it, and then let it set for a few days for the oil in the fogger could seep in around the rings and valve stems.
i have already thought about the waterpump. i was going to replace the impeller. but someone said i already have it out i might as well change the upper housing. and i agree with him. you can get a kit off ebay for 21.75 for the housing and impeller and all new gaskets.
and after what you just said i might as well change all the bellows. i think i will just get a bellows kit with new gimbel bearing and shift cable and then maby even put new u joints in it. and you gave me a great idea about the old gas. i already have an old inline electric fuel pump from an old motorhome i owned. i can hook it up and pump most of the old gas out, then add fresh gas and some carb treatment. i have seen some old carbs set for years back in the old days on cars. but we didnt have moonshine in our gas back then,LOL.
the guy i bought it from just started it up back in july. i sure hope he didnt hurt anything, like maby braking rings if they were stuck. but he said it ran great, but he never pushed it like being out on the lake. so i have my fingers crossed.
anyone elce have any more ideas. im open to your suggestions. heres a good chance to give your opinion and not get slammed for giving it,LOL.
