A friend of mine had one that was in the family since new.
He used it as a kid but it had been sitting for decades.
Coils were junk so we did the OMC style coil up date
and cut a new diaphragm for the fuel pump. Had a impeller
made using the center from the old one. The power head
is basically the same as the Hot Rod. Its the stuff below
the power head that is hard to get if you need something.
He ran his regularly for years until he sold his lake property.
These pictures are dated 2004 so its been awhile ago.
This little lever on the fuel line connector operates the choke.
Hard to come by if you need one. Do you have the one for
your motor? Also if this fitting is leaking use some sealer.
Giving it another turn will split the pump. I do have a
Hot Rod but I no longer bend in the places you need to bend
to fit in the type of boat you put them on.
