    1964 sportwin 9.5, now oil leaking around bolt through manifold, cause poor idle?

    1964 evinrude sportwin clamshell on a johnson motor?

    Just bought a 56 alumacraft with a 1964 evinrude 9.5 sportwin ($300). I wanted to replace the impeller, all four bolts on the lower were already broken, how lucky was I that I didn't have to go to the trouble to break them. Ran the engine before purchase, seemed to run great in the tube of...
