don’t go far on the lake !! regardlesss of the previous owner’s abililities you don’t want to find out the coils are cracked and sparking to ground 2 miles out. do what needs to be done and have a nice running engine and a happy wife if one have one.
folks here give you recomendations based on experience……
it is up to you to follow-up or go boating at your risk and peril . All these old motors have crackecoils due to the chemisty of the epoxies of the time. same for condensers of unknown age. Points can be ” touched up” but they to do not last forever.
test the water pump with 6-8 inches above the impeller .. use a large garbage can
these pumps do not suck they just push water up the water tube.
