The oil in the gearfoot is different for the electric shift engines. Check the specs and use the correct lubricant. Until you know you have spark, or do the necessary work to get good spark, there’s not much you can do to move forward on the project. My rule is always do all the basics,—clean carb, clean fuel, clean ignition, good wiring, and waterpump once it’s up and running. Elsewise you’ll get it running, test it on the water and something will fail. Do it all before the water test!
