Greetings,<br />I'm new to this forum but I'm hoping that some kind soul can give me a hand.<br /><br />First, don't laugh. <br />Last fall I purchased, from a buddies father-in- law a 1963 Glasron Skiflite, trailer and 1959 Johnson 35hp Super Seahorse (model RDS 21 B)<br />The whole package has been in a garage since 1969, except one year on a pond in 1986. The whole deal cost me $350.00.<br /><br />I started working on the motor a few month ago.<br />I've rebuilt the carb, water pump and replaced the fluids and coils. Points look fine, but I have some new ones on order anyways.<br /><br />I have Seloc's book and have found it a great help but here's where I'm having problems. I can usually get it to start (most often with the help of ether) but it will only run for about 30 seconds. After that point it just quits, but will start up again <br />I have the time and patience to work on it, but need a little assistance. What else should I be looking at?<br /><br />Also, if someone could direct me towards a source for the pull start rachet that sits atop the flywheel, I'd be very appreciative.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dan
