thanks for info. Since I found no water it looks like the GC is sealing and do not plan on openning it up . A couple of runs with a fresh reload of oil should clean it up if not i’ll try lighter marvel oil or just plain diesel fuel for a few minutes then refill with 90 grade.
Aside from the bird nest and goo…. the “provenance” info and engine overall condition gives me confidence this was a single owner engine all these years . A qwick peek inside ….behind the reed plate showed an amazingly clean engine .
90-95 psi is the highest I have ever reached on more than a dozen or so oldies i’ve fixed up back to life.
time will tell. I converted it to a round B&S pump (sorry guys) , new plug wires /boots , timed it up with “the RW tool” ..all it needs now is a boat and a lake.
btw if anybody wants to swap some dual engine side connectors for singles ….. 🙂
