Hey all,
I'm interested in purchasing an old outboard engine to rebuild. I want to take it apart, learn about all parts hands-on, and then put it back together again. I have little experience with engines, and am eager to learn more.
What engines (years/make/model) do you recommend I hunt for? I ideally want one that spare parts and a manual are still available for, and preferably a smaller outboard. If it helps, I'm located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Any other words of wisdom for a 'first-timer' would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
