      Thank you to all those who were able to help me figure out what I had.

      It appears it was gently used, if used at all.

      The lower unit and gears were in immaculate condition, with few signs of ever having oil in them.

      Great tolerance in the crank and prop shaft bushings.

       

      Next steps for me and this motor is sourcing some odd parts. I need a stern clamp bracket, and a fuel tank. I am willing to search far and wide for these parts.

      Also wondering if someone has a sheet or knows how many microfarads the condenser on these were. I’m not sure how to check, but I know how to rebuild condensers.

       

      Thank you!

        Amazing how accurately thick steel plates can be pressed into complex parts, Good luck on your parts chase,,, they sometimes result in a parts motor… and another project,

          Louis,

          When I was disassembling and cleaning the parts, I noticed how nicely all of the press fit pieces went together. There was little to no gap in anything!
