[QUOTE="architorture, post: 188985, member: 4717"] I kind of figured this was sort of a square peg in a round whole type of thing. That's alright, I still love this little motor. My brother and his friend had used it for years duck hunting then one of them broke the pull cord and let it sit for a few years cause they couldn't get it fixed. When I finally came upon it it was so locked up the flywheel nut would spin before the motor would turn over (that may not actually mean a whole lot lol). After soaking it in oil a few days it finally broke loose, and after new plugs, cleaned carb, new recoil spring and pull cord she fired right up. This was the first outboard I had toyed with and I'm thankful it was something so simple and well built. You probably couldn't pick a better outboard to learn the basics on IMO. Anyways with that said, I'll just accept her for what she is and move on :) [/QUOTE]
