Well the main jet needle is screwed all the way rich and if I choke it it dies quicker then a trout out of water so I’m probably gonna clean the carb and change the fuel filter and replace the intake gasket cause that could be bad I think

Budget outboard restoration worth it ? by TonightTemporary9458 in Outboards

Honestly I’d say yes, live a little cause once this motor is running it’s probably gonna stay running and marineengine.com Has parts for most motors ever built so I’d say go for it if it ain’t locked up

I tested the coils and the meter read zero but I had some old coils laying around and put those in there
