[QUOTE="CMOS, post: 396297, member: 15462"] Okay guys, she's running. Started on the 3rd pull. SS mixture was set perfect. Didn't even need to move it (although yes I did test the setting). This motor is much quieter than my 1966 9.5. Some questions: 1. I was not able to test shifting because I had to take the prop off to fit the lower in my barrel. I have heard that it's not good to shift unless there is prop resistance - is this correct? (I will be getting flush muffs shortly). 2. When I was running it in the barrel, the only place I saw water exit the engine was the pee hole. Is there another location where water exits the engine where I could not see, perhaps below the waterline of my barrel? Please educate me on this. Thank you to everyone who helped me with this motor restoration project. It's been fun. CMOS [/QUOTE]
