I've got a 1988 8hp that I just bought from my uncle for $150.
The throttle can go from idle to full throttle in gear, reverse or neutral. It seems, I would think, that this may be my problem, safety limitations that I cant seem to find or correct that limits it from starting in gear and/or at full throttle.
The starter engages the flywheel but the flywheel doesn't move.
In neutral the prop spins freely. In gear however, it wont turn.....(maybe it is seized up from sitting without lube and heating and cooling and some humidity rusting the piston to the cylinder wall).
Any ideas? Any bets on what it is? Thanks in advance for some direction.
