[vintage.1958]

Four years have passed since I started this motor.  I ran across this post when looking back at old email.  Retirement, a move, grandchildren, travel, and multiple storage units later, I finally dug it out and started it.  Insects tried to make it their home but I evicted them yesterday and it started with only a few pulls. I finally have free time to play with outboards.  I couldn’t remember much about what I had previously done to the motor but was able to view this thread after 4 years!  Thank you for keeping this website going and saving this information so I could continue with this project.
