A little background first. I've always enjoyed working on anything mechanical and had great luck taking on project cars, mowers, etc, but this is my first boat motor. I bought this to fix for a small flat bottom boat I have. The previous owner has removed some parts and I realize I'm missing a few now. I registered here hoping you guys could lend me a hand, as I am way out of my league. I've attached some pics of the motor and I'm not sure what the parts missing are called so maybe you can help. The plastic throttle link has been epoxied together for now until I can get a replacement, but I am not familiar with this ignition system at all. What all can you see that I'm missing and would you happen to know where to find it? Thanks in advance for any help and please be gentle! Thanks again

Good idea posting the pix. However, suggest you get a manual for the motor and spend some time getting familiar....
