That’s great news! Thanks to all of you. It’s hard being a brand new owner of a 66 year old motor that sat for 49 years, when I have no experience at all in boats or motors. Gotta start somewhere…
I was reading random threads in the forum last night and learned there was supposed to be packing around the slow needle. So I removed the needle and its nut and found some cardboard like crumbs, which I picked out as best I could. I made 3 washers from thin chrome tanned leather and soaked them in WD-40 then installed them along with the needle and nut. I hope that works!
