So after cleaning the water pump system, the carb (which was really in good shape), and the brass fuel filter screen which was totally blocked with junk still coming out the tank, I felt we were set to go. Instead of pulling my arm out with rope, I tried my cordless drill with a Gator grip adjustable 3/8 in socket. this really may turning the flywheel easy and the gator grip mechanism allows an easy off capability once the motor takes off. here is the video below:
I am set for now, YESSS. I don’t own a boat and don’t have a lot of garage space to get into this but this has been fun, I must say.
Thanks to Buccaneer, Tubs, and Harry for helpful advice to a rookie. and yes, the cooling water does exit the blowhole of the exhaust manifold as seen in the video.
I must say, for an 87 year old motor sitting around for probably 60 years, this baby really cranked up ! You’re right Buck, I need a bigger test drum, haha!
