My son and I finally got up to the garage to get after some projects and put a bit of time into this motor. We fussed around with the coils and points and got some good spark on both cylinders.
I then attempted to look over the waterpump and promptly broke 3 of 4 bolts off during attempted removal. Removal of the bolts did not have the lower unit drop down, its somewhat corroded to the top portion. I reexamined the motor over and do see signs of salt water immersion, so I am not sure it will be worth the effort to get the motor up and running. We’ll separate the lower unit and see about the waterpump and maybe give it a barrel run to see if it has other issues.
Jack and I had fun tinkering around with it anyhow.
