I purchased an old outboard that looks a lot like one of those Schnake mid jet motors, except that it has a prop instead of a jet. There are numbers on the transom clamp that read BM46 111. There is a tag on the powerhead that reads 626-30a. The carburetor reads Lauson Power Products. The gas tank is more modern and boxy as opposed to those old schnakes with the cylindrical gas tank. I'm sure it is a Tecumseh powerhead but don't know the year. Any one know?

The 626 powerhead came out in 1961 as a 3hp, 16 to 1 fuel mix and J8J plug.
