I bought this for $40 sight unseen. it came to me unassembled but the cowlings are all there. I'm a novice but I think we can get this bad boy running. Couple of issues/problems. 1) there apparently is a cable that goes from the gear shift lever down through and connects to the linkage, I guess. Right now when you move the gear shift lever and spin the flywheel, it still turns the prop. There is no cabel attached but I think there must supposed to be one there and when you move the lever it pulls up on the linkage taking it out of gear to neutral. Does anyone know?
2) How to you get the magneto off? I was able to get the flywheel off but how do you get the magento off? The spark plug wires are completely shot and need to be replaced but that requires getting the magneto off.
By the way, haven't hardly turned a wrench in my life but bought the book "Cheap Outboards" and this forum and feel really confident. thanks for all y'all do.
