20HP Chrysler outboard model 2021

[zaneroni]

Hi
I recently bought a 1955 Alumacraft model FD, it came with a free 20 HP Chrysler model 2021 complete with the controls and steering station. The engine turns but I can not get a spark or get it started. I don't know if there are any other problems with it.
Is it worth it to go through the expense of trying to fix it or should I buy a different motor ( OMC or Mercury) for it?
Can the 2 lever controls from the Chrysler be used with any other motor?
I tried to get some information on that model but I was not able to find the model number referenced anywhere. FYI, it has a soft plastic cap on top of the engine cover that lights up when the engine is on.

Thanks for your help.

Go to iboats and check out the Chrysler forum. There's a couple Chrysler experts on there.
I would probably trash that motor because of the age and unknown. If you decide to try and get it running don't put more then $50 into the thing.
