Before using this engine I would change impaller ,rubber will becomme harder and develupe cracks , better safe than sorry
<br /><br />First thing to do , clean the carburator ,get a gasket kit .<br />Then use fresh gass ( premix 50:1 TCW-3 oil ).<br /><br />Adjust the carbs low speed jet ( 1.5 ?? turn out , check this one ,not shure )<br /><br />Does all the linkage ( carb/ignition ) move as it shuld ??<br />First 2/3 of engines rpm are controled by the ignition only , the carb will open at the last 1/3 .
Theres the problem .
<br /><br />All outboard engines I have used (except an old zuki) there are a linkage between carburator and ignition .<br />When you turn the throttle ( wrist throttle ) you will turn the ignition first and when you reatch 2/3 off full throttle ,the carburator will start to open .<br /><br />By only opening the carb befor the ignition,the engine will die ..<br /><br />If you're not also advancing the spark with the carb opening, then the engine will fall on it's face like you described. The tiller arm also activates the spark advance, if you look into it.<br /><br />Get yourself a manual and replace the impeller. Those outboards are really excellent, and deserve the small amount of work to get them running again.<br /><br />EDIT: Pardon, Droll.
