    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I’ll go ahead with trying to get this one running. My items on the list are:

    #1. Carb cleaning / rebuild
    #2. Full ignition rebuild – points, coil, condenser and set the timing. <– I got the timing tool and coil ring from Richard. Thanks!
    #3. Water pump impeller
    #4. Pull the exhaust plate and check for blockages and pin holes in the plate.
    #5. New head gasket & clean out water jackets.
    #6. Pressure test the lower unit

    Is there anything else I should look at while I’m in the motor? Any issues these motors are famous for?
