Thanks for the continued help. More questions:
I’m missing one of these small springs from the recoil and I don’t see that as a separate item on the parts diagram. Any sources for that?
The recoil is stiff and doesn’t want to rewind the rope. Recommendations on disassembly and cleaning? I’m assuming I need to get the main spring out, clean and lightly oil it, then have to fight winding it back in? (I’ve done it on a few other kinds of motors)
Fuel tank shutoff valve seems to leak a bit around the stem even when closed. Fixes?
Also, figured I would post some pictures of the project as a whole. Barn fresh, washed and next to its big brother (your warning about them being addicting was too late, now I need the other sizes and a 3hp Sea Bee and Sea King…) . Last picture I’ve buffed and waxed the cowling, still need to do the leg and transom bracket.
