    I have 2 of them. a 1970 and a 71 60hp. The 70 came on my wife’s tri hull. I have spent more time and trouble on this motor than all the other motors I have together. I goes bad, I fool around with it, ask and get help, get help. It works again, then craps out again. 5 years if this. Was running good last year, but went crappy already this year. I yanked it off and put one of my fine running Chrysler’s in it’s place, with a plain magneto on it. I am done.
    Both are for sale for a song. Hope some one with take them, or I guess I will have to part them out. The one off her boat has 130+ comp too.
    It’s too bad, maybe just me, but they are "great motors", good power, easy on fuel. I am just to old for the crazy ignition on them
    I don’t mean to down them 😆 I’m just giving you my experance with them :mrgreen:
