[QUOTE="inlovewithsurfin, post: 268924, member: 9011"] ok... so here is a video of the outboard today!!! all i did was cleaned a little rust out of the gas can, replaced the old fuel line.... added gas and she started and ran for me!!! :) i am soo stoked that i have a working outboard for $100! i opened the carb bowl and it was completely spotless and the rubber gaskets were in good shape so i just put it back together and left it alone. im gonna run some seafoam thru it (miracle worker) and hopefully it will run like a scalded dog!!! :) here is the video: https://youtu.be/caJ_aBKHkAY feel free to let me know what you think! also... i know the engine is air cooled but from what i understand there is a water pump that cools the exhaust? should i be able to see water spitting out somewhere or does that all take place underneath of the water? id like to know whether my impeller is bad or not before i go tearing apart the lower unit to replace it? anyone know anything about these old ESKA motors?
