Muncie Gear works apparently built an oddball stern drive unit for only a couple of years. It is quite unusual. One of its distint features is that it turns 360 degrees, with no stops. It is nearly all bronze cast construction on the externals. I need info on this unit FAST if anyone can help me. The boat is going back in the water this coming week so the drive must be finished. Any help or info is greatly appreciated!! Thanks !!

If you have any info on the unit I would greatly appreciate it if you could email me with it. emtnabinger@hotmail.com Thanks a ton, Trent Nabinger

Actually I don't think it was 1981, that's probably when it was donated to the museum.

Well, time marches on. I haven't checked back for a few years. I garnered no info on the odd-ball Muncie stern drive unit but I did completely overhaul it and its attachments. It has been working for close to 3 years now so I guess I did okay. It appears that all of the generous responses concern the Muncie Gear Neptune outboards which are interesting little units but technically of little relationship to the outdrive I overhauled. Thanks

Chuck Sarno -
The records I have show the Neptune Model B1 to be a 1948 year model.
1.7hp 1 cylinder with a bore and stroke of 1.56" X 1.5".
R. E. Phelon was the maker of the magneto ignition system.
Hope this answers your question.

I just bought a bought a Muncie equiped boat that has ne chance of ever coming back to life. I believe it was a Cavellere by CrisCraft but it's hard to tell as the boat is so rotted. It has a 340 Buick V-8 and a Muncie outdrive with a nice two blade bronze prop. My outdrive does not spin 360 degrees like the other gentelman said his did but if anyone is interested in it cheap email me at johnsbmw@yahoo.com. I'm in Kansas City. I also have all the marine hardware for the engine if that interests anyone.

I have several old small neptunes. They all work well on 25 / 1 mixture. Never pull the head off otherwise it is all fair game to dissassemble. When running be sure to turn off the gas and run the carb bowl out prior to pulling out of the water. Also: make sure the screws are tight on the handle and all around the engine. If not they will end up in the water. Use grease in the lower unit. The gas tanks have a tendency to split open and leak. You can solve that problem by opening up the mounting holes for the tank and inserting some electical rubber pass throughs then remount as you would normally.

A1 FROM 1955
AA1 1956
AA1-A 1957-1960
WC-1 1961-1969
The fuel mix is 16:1
I wish I could find a reed valve it runs at full trottle. it is a great little motor

man! I am going crazy.. i guess this little neptune aint so rare at all. seems everyone and their dog has one. i just wanted one to put on my raft - not one person has stated how much these
1.7 HP motors are worth. i do not want to pay More then I have to after all. LOL
the one I was looking to buy is the Mighty mite - in running condition. It would end up costing me between 100 and 120 after I pay shipping. do you think thats worth it?

anyone? motormountbot sea eagle SE9

I would not buy a motor with the skeg broken off
but the price you mention for a running motor is ok. the motor shown is a parts motor because of the broken skeg, These were cheap department store motors, and millions of them sold. They are always on the internet. Wait till a good one turns up
