Thanks for all your help racerone! I really appreciate it. I don’t know anyone who works with vintage outboards so forums are my only help. Once I take the motor apart is there a certain way I gotta clean the innards or is it just a matter of if the parts are rusty the engine is scrapThe motor has water in it.----When I see that rust on reed valves the motor has to come apart.-----Or it will take itself apart sooner or later.
