motor lost most of power after about 3/4 throttle, but still seemed to be running very smoothe...seems to be overheating somewhat? Thermostat was stuck, but began working after hitting it with map-gas torch. Could it still be my problem & would overheating cause motor to lose power?
I got this motor for free, with a 1961 twenty-foot Hawkline boat & trailer about Aug. 2013. It sat outside, unused for 14 years - but previous owner had filled cylinders with oil & replace plugs. When I got it home: The existing starter spun motor easily, but wouldn't start. Cleaned/re-built all...
