A couple of things, one if I remember right, I believe that once I was told that when cutting rubber to use water as a lubricant, maybe it will work for drilling.
second is I have a 1951 25hp Johnson that had very little use. I got it and started using it about 1980 or 81. I also thought that my starter cord looked in great shape, the problem is that you can not see the internal wire. I was out visiting someone at an island. Went to leave, gave a pull to start it and the rope broke right where it went into the handle. I had to pull the cover and starter assembly loosing the metal ring that the cord passes out through the cover. outboard were new to me back then. Then I could start it to get back to base.
