I just bought a 1950 Sportwin off of craigslist, it's my first outboard motor seeing how I'm only 20 but I am pretty handy with motors. At first I fixed a fuel leak on a plug on the bottom of the tank, now that I have fuel that far I noticed a leak out of the primer. Is this hard to fix? I decided to see if i could get it to fire even with the leak. I pulled my dad out into the garage with me and with all the adjustments we didn't know what to set them at, after a few tired arms we got it to sputter a little bit. Ate dinner came back out, primed it and gave it one pull and she started right up but died quickly. shortly after I found out that I could push the prime button to keep it running. Do these things have a fuel pump or a pressurized tank. I have two fuel lines but one just kinda leads to no where....maybe that's the reason? I don't know. Any help would be helpful and greatly appreciated. Also pictures to come, the guy I bought it from just got done painting it, It looks really nice.
