First charge the battery so you know its fully charged.
A fully charged battery will be around 6.4 volts. Once
they get below 5.8 volts they don’t want to run. They
will pop but wont take off.
Notice the position of the timer in my video.
Mixture screw should be open about 1-1/4 turns to start.
If its not doing anything close the mixture screw all
the way and try to start it. If it starts and cleans it
self out the mixture was open too far. If after 6 try’s
if it doesn’t do anything open the mixture screw a
1/4 more than before. If the motor is firing often
but wont run, advance the timer (counter clockwise
toward 6:00 O’clock) a little more. The closer the
timer is to 6:00 O’clock the farther you have to pull
the flywheel back to get the points to snap. Where
a glove till you learn how to start this thing or you’ll
wear the knuckle on you thumb raw.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
