Considered one of the most trouble free outboards of the ’50s – it was built for almost 20 years without a major change. Look for cracked coils, replace the pump impeller and change the oil in the gear case.. It may have some residue in the fuel system, depending how it was prepared for storage. It called for a third of a pint to the gallon. It has all bronze bushings, but its OK to use the 50 to one oil, but at the 24 to one ratio. You can’t beat that price !
