She’s no “Swiss Watch” yet, but maybe when you get to run
it on the lake a while it will smooth out. Even if it doesn’t,
not bad for a 95-year-old motor!

When I get a better day, it will get some barrel time. I’ve learned its best to run a tank of gas through motors I’m running for the first time before they make the trip. From what I understand these aren’t great running motors, epically at lower speeds. The fuel is taken at the bottom of the port cyl. Doesn’t make for even fuel distribution. I suspect that if you slow one down far enough the starboard cyl. drops out.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
