Re: What do I have?

First of all, thanks for the great notes.

I got some gear lube for the bottom end of both motors and will put that in this weekend. I am replacing the water pump impellers and will test the compression in all cylinders. The starter was installed and does work, as does the spare that’s shown in the photos. I did check the bottom of all three fuel tanks that came with the motors (two pressure tanks, both connections for the Johnson motors, and one single line tank with a connector for the Merc). All were clean and had a bit of fuel in them. I rinsed all three tanks out before I added new fuel and mixed the oil at 40:1. There was part of the old water pump impeller in the Merc’s influent water line that I was able to clear. I’ll fill the water level much higher when I test run them again.

Again, thanks for all your help.
