[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 281656, member: 3278"] Along with the carburetor you will most likely have to go into the ignition system and replace coils and condensors (at the very least) if they are original. By all means replace the waterpump assy. and this job means removing the powerhead on this little engine but that too is easy. When the engine is deemed ready to run always run it on a 24:1 mixture. Your engine is a plain bearing engine and will not survive long on anything less than that. Chances are there are readable instructions inside your cowling. In addition, you may find that you have to replace gearcase seals. Check the gearlube often for the first several trips and if it turns milky then this job will have to be done. What do you get in return for all this work? An engine that is just about bulletproof, runs like a sewing maching and long lasting enough to hand down to your grandchildren............still running.
