I had a white 61 model in the late 70`s.It was a dandy.I had to replace points,coils,and the plate they set on,also a little alum weld on lower unit to fix leak.It was a very smooth runner,and would propel my light jon boad to 25mph.
I was wondering if this engine had a good reputation,and how it compared to the later 9.5&9.9?
Seems like it was a little on the heavy side,but@25 who cared?I was late on a good sounding deal on one last week for $150.
Lastly,are most parts still available for one,like water pumps,lower unit bearings&such?I know the electrical parts are no problem.
