    Thanks Fleetwin that clears it up for me. Always appreciate your knowledge.

    I haven’t worked on many of these motors so I don’t have a lot of knowledge of them and opted to sell all 3 of mine while in Key West this winter which is where I stored them on a military base in the storage lot last summer. They were all 3 salt water engines (not my favorite) that were given to me as non-working by a fellow camper we camp with. I fixed them up and got them running and was using them on a 11ft boston whaler I purchased down there from the guy that gave me the motors. He owns a marina in RI. I sold the whaler this winter also to a liveaboard. Someone that is good at repairing small outboards can stay as busy as they like down there because like 1/3 the town lives on mainly sail boats moored on moorings down there and dingy to land daily. We normally camp on base down there for a few months in the winter with a water view. I have made friends with a few of the liveaboards and help them from time-to-time with their dingy motors and make a few bucks in the process.

    Thanks for the help,
    Joe
