Thanks everyone for the replies! I will definitely put some short plugs in the motorand get some caps to help insulate them and keep them from contacting the cowls. Once I get the motors, I’ll keep up with some progress pictures. From what I’m hearing, that carb will be the difficult part. I’ll make sure to give that carb some special attention. That Twin-Z sure is a unique piece, but it looks a bit complicated to work on. This isn’t my first time with an old outboard. Like my grandfather mentioned, I do have a 1970 Neptune Mighty-Mite (The model year with the chainsaw carb) that I’ve done some work on and got running again. I also have the previously mentioned JW-20 3 horse. I’ve taken that a bit more than 8 miles. Not all on one trip though. Thanks again to everyone’s help and advice!
