I just purchased this motor. Starts sometimes...but most the time doesn't. I have spark...thinking maybe carb. Does anyone have a line on parts or a service manual? Purchased for $100 complete. Really would like to restore and put on my square tail Grumen canoe.
Thanks to all in advance.

www.acmeoutboards.com has service manuals for E-rudes of that era. Do you have a good, strong blue spark or just a spark? May need to pull the flywheel and clean/reset the points...those older coils rarely go bad. Also check the plug wire. Those carbs are very simple to clean/rebuild. Good luck.
