    I hate to be a buzz killer but the lesson
    here is how to evaluate a motor to determine
    if it is worth investing any money in.
    The pictures seem to indicate that it is so
    corroded there is a hole through the gas tank.
    This would indicate to me its is not.
    As it turns over it may have parts that
    are still good. Also an opportunity to
    learn technique in getting these things
    apart without braking stuff. That looks
    like its going to be a real challenge
    on that motor. My suggestion would
    be to look for another in better condition
    that may need parts you can salvage from
    this motor. This not a motor you would
    want to invest much money in IMO.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
