    Probably the furthest away from salt water as you can get here in SE Wisconsin. The lower unit is in surprisingly spectacular shape. Nice and clean lubricant inside. Now that it has the correct plug and point setting, I was able to run it a bit. I hooked up a 6 gallon Mercury tank to it with a clear fuel line to monitor the fuel flow. I was amazed that after a good priming the teeny internal red rubber carburetor fuel pump actually kept the fuel flowing quite well all the way up from the floor. I left the motor sitting in the run tank and will check the oil tomorrow for any water intrusion now that it’s been run a while. No oil in the water at this point.
    I would definitely pony up the cash for shipping of a decent fuel tank if you have one. I really hate to ruin a motors aesthetics in order to get it into running condition. But, if need be…
    Thanks,
