![]() ![]() The lower cover I currently do not have on, mainy due to how hard it is to spray gas/oil mix in a pinch into the carburetor with it on. I rebuilt the carburetor with parts (Carb Kit DI-52030) from I replaced the black gas line with a clear line and have an inline fuel filter which I highly recommend. Anyone else working on one of these?Īfter reading through a manual snagged off of Ebay, I found that the recommended gas to oil mixture is 24:1, replaced the spark plug(manual calls for Champion J13Y, I used substitute Champion RJ14YC), recut the high tension lead wire and rebooted the spark plug cover. With some starter fluid, was able to start the engine for a few seconds until it burned up(note: better to spray gas/oil mix from old spray bottle, as starter fluid doesn't have required oil lubrication) - Next steps will be cleaning/rebuilding the carb, and possibly cleaning some carbon off the cylinder head and replacing the head gasket if I can find the part. First steps - drain old gas, clean or replace fuel lines, make sure spark plug is working correctly, and check compression.

Be sure to do your testing under your normal boating conditions and with a good propeller (not bent, cracked, or excessively chipped). You want your RPM's to be within the proper range while at wide open throttle (WOT). For example, if you look at your tachometer at top speed and it is not within the engine's RPM range then that is generally not good. ![]() Your engine's RPM range is important in choosing the right propeller for a given application. This engine has power steering and a recoil-type starter. The bore for this outboard is 2.25 inches and the stroke is 2.06 inches. The displacement for the pistons is 16.4.
