    update…

    well I pulled the head to check out suspected casting flaws….at the bottom of the cavity just below the ph

    turns out each separate sections (divisons) pictured in mumbles photo does in fact have a hole about 1/8 inch unseen in the picture due to the shadows in each corner . The holes… presumably to drain those individual sections .

    The ragged hole in my picture where I suspected a casting flaw is larger but unlikely to cause any grief. In any event I did some dental surgery with steel epoxy paste to fill the enlarged "cavity" leaving a hole the same size as the other ones for "drainage"

    Engine wise with the head off I found no carbon deposits to speak of but surfaces were dark Seals looked fine to me anyway
    Carb wise… some brown buttery crap, float looked almost new but stuck hard on the pivot. It loosed up . The carb looks good and will only need a wash and blow job 😯

    thats it for now… looking good overall

    gearcase drained …no water impeller blades nice and soft
