Hey all, thanks for the forum to ask questions and what not.
Engine is running great. Starts easy when warm... First start still had fogging oil in carb.
Want to keep it running great. Blower does not work, need to fix that.
Appears to have starting of issue with exhaust. I am not happy with the gear box linkage. On day dream of adding a tiny little 6 gallon hot water heater. Currently in Great Lakes, plan to go to ocean with it, so fresh water cooling is on the project list. Wanted to hear the hive minds opinion on the oil filter upgrade...
In the spare parts kits, I found an abundance of new impellers. Several distributor caps, a new set of spark plugs, old spark plug wires. And a decommissioned electronic ignition... Engine appears to have the older prestolite distributor system.
Engine was very obviously maintained well. The engine room is so clean, and ordered, I could eat in there. A few electrical contacts have some corrosion on them, but nothing serious. There is some fraying on one wire connected to the starter.
Where would you guys start learning about this engine? I feel like, I should be slow and ordered with my projects, Do one project, test it out, do another project, etc.
My big fear is the things that I do not know, that I don't know.
