[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 270233, member: 3278"] Is this a "new to you" engine? If so, plan on doing a complete ignition and carb rebuild on it. After that you can also expect to install a complete new water pump or at the least a new impeller. Check the gearcase and you find water in it at which point you may need to reseal the gearcase. Bringing the older engines back into service properly will take time and some money. Do not use starting fluid to start one. Starting fluid has zero lubricant added to it and can damage the engine. Use a squirt bottle of gas and oil mix. Second, if the engine has to have starting fluid then you may as well stop now as there are probable carb issues you need to address. Get to work! [/QUOTE]
