We are just glad it is solved. It’s always nice when posters take the time to answer questions completely and do their best to follow advice. I know it is very hard to understand advice given just by the written word.
You mention that the electric choke solenoid has been removed from the engine but the fuse pops everytime you push the key in to activate the missing electric choke. Where is the purple/white electric choke lead terminal now? Perhaps it is grounded somewhere on the block.
The 1977 35hp was not OMCs best effort, although later 35hp models were reliable. The 77 models had cooling issues, so it not a great engine to keep in your collection.
