IT’S ALIVE! Took my dad out on the lake today for this motors first water trip in at least 40 years. It then promptly died at the end of the cove and refused to restart. Dad said it was just like old times with his dad when he was a kid with this engine. Except I didn’t curse at it much while pulling the rope repeatedly. I finally realized I hadn’t opened the fuel tank vent. Doh! After that the runs were a success until the starter started trying to engage with the engine running due to the handle falling down. When I cleaned the stater before the spring was kinked and it looks like I need a new/ used one. Anyone have a lead? Looks like it’s part number 41-197 which I was unable to find online. Anyone have a source? There is a meet coming up in two weeks and this is my only vintage motor close to being ready to go.
