[QUOTE="Jsweber82, post: 335246, member: 13104"] Thanks for the replies guys. Regarding the battery and fuel tank for balance, I had the battery in the back left and fuel tank in the center because it fit better. I could move the gas tank to the right side and give a bit more balance. The tilt is down as far as possible so the motor is completely vertical. Having NO experience with these old outboards, I don't know what running "normal" should sound like but it did seem to vibrate and shake quite a bit at idle once I cranked it. When I was in gear at driving full speed it felt/sounded okay I guess. I don't have much to compare it to unfortunately. I just bought a compression tester so will check the compression tonight, also have new spark plugs on the way. maybe this will help some. [/QUOTE]
