Just a wood of caution relative to fuel system and ignition. These motors have a unique and rather complicated fuel/ carburetor system. The four cylinder ignition and associated spark plug wires and spark plug terminals are all neatly packed within the front shroud ALONG with that fuel system. Ensure that both fuel and high voltage systems are intact. NO leaks of either fuel or spark allowed under that shroud. Combustion outside of the cylinders is not a good thing.
These are fun motors. If this is your first venture in the old outboard world just proceed slowly, seek advice when needed.
Keep us informed of your progress.
