They aren’t worth a whole lot, but they are good runners and seem to last forever if treated right. They use 16/1 gas/oil ratio and many old motors have been ruined due to people not knowing and running them on 50/1 like the 60s motors. There are people selling special leather pump seals for the carburetors, and the gaskets are easy enough to make. Set up right they are good fishing motors for small johnboats, etc. I’ve seen them beat up and looking like they were dragged behind a truck and they still ran well. I used to have one that was so ugly, I called it “thief proof”, but it ran like a new motor. Around my area, they were the most numerous “grandpaw motor”. Here’s some good info on the carb. There is an address down on the page about the leather seals.
