The motor is in pretty nice condition, but it just does not want to run at slow speed and idle. I am a shade tree mechanic and just don't seem to have the expertise to fix it my self, so am going to sell it.
EDIT: Selling is not allowed in the forum, Bob, nor are Email addresses.
My wife was concerned about going out on the Gulf with no backup engine, so I made a custom mount that attaches to the transom and rear platform. I plan to mount a 25 Hp Long Shaft OB and am wondering if anyone has any ideas to share about this setup.
Since the platform can hold a 300 Lb...
Just reclaimed my motor from the shop, since they couldn't identify what was causing the engine to die when throttled back below half way.
It is SN-4286902 with Thunderbolt (CDI) Ign and single carb, pull start only, long shaft. Carb perfectly clean, good gas, plenty of spark at all settings...
