First I want to thank you for all of the knowledge that I have taken from you guys on here already.
I got my motor running with the help of a guy I met on the lake who had a late 50's model lark. It runs on automatic choke, but when I take off the choke it dies.
Also, do I need a battery hooked up to get the electric shift to work because I don't have one hooked up now and it doesn't shift.
And the two mounting tabs on the motor block for mounting the starter broke off. Does anyone know if this metal is weldable or have any ideas for getting the starter hooked back up as now I'm having to take the cover off and wrap a rope around the flywheel to start it.
I don't have to have the starter if someone has an idea of getting a different style spring loaded/ recoiling pull cord on there since there is no mount on the starter side causing the manufacturer installed unit to bind. Maybe weld one on top of the flywheel?
This is a family owned boat and motor since the 60's and I really would like to get it going as it is the boat I learned to ski on. It's on a 1950's 14' alumacraft.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
