I have one too and it is a great motor. I wish I had a boat like yours to stick it on. When you do everything right and get the carb adjusted right, they will purr like a kitten and will be very dependable. I ran mine for about 8 years in the ’90s as my fishing motor until the old boat it was on rotted too bad. It never let me down and amazed my friends. I agree with keeping it original and use the pressure tank…..they have worked just fine since the 1940s.
