Hi Indy46,
First thanks for your valued input.
I don't know the history on this engine but based on how the engine came apart I doubt it was a salt water motor. I believe it has sit for many years without running and that was the main problem. All the bolts came loose without any issue i.e. broken bolts. The foot has no corrosion and even the bolts at the impeller area came right out with no issue. The inside of the the exhaust housing also looked corrosion free. Thanks for the point gap information. I will have to take a closer look at the coil laminations to see where they line up with the mag plate.
I am waiting on a few parts that are due in next week. While I am waiting on the parts I will tackle the ignition system, cleaning it up getting rid of all the rust and goo and order and replace parts as necessary. I have no idea what the goo is on the cam. It has probably been there for 20 or so years. Ha Ha
