I pulled lower unit completely off and then pulled exhaust baffle off. It had about a 1/8th inch carb build up all over but was not clogged. I got a screwdriver and scraped it all off and wiped it out. The put lower housing back on (minus the gear). I guess I can pull it again and use my Dremel to get everything out.
The spark plug hole ended up getting stripped out, so I put a insert in it today.
I have never had to do points on a single cylinder outboard before so I looked it up to make sure there is no unapparent timing procedures and there wasn’t. Set timing at .20 when points are on top of lobe.
I have a second carb that I robbed from the ted Williams (since it’s seized up) and I’m going to find be another carb kit, I guess, since the one I just put on didn’t work out. I purchased a wall to kit, so I didn’t go super cheap or anything. Do these just not hold up to modern fuels?
