Finely getting some weather to do a little tank testing. I went through this motor this winter and it ran out of the water. The real test for these is – in the water – with the prop on. From the looks of the motor when I got it I thought the odds were more likely that it wouldn’t. Compression is 70lbs. Not great, but better that 60 or 65. Oh – check out the dent in the top right-hand side of the gas tank where “some dumb ass” dropped it right after it was painted. Video link – https://youtu.be/_gicwMuUQMk
A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
I’ve done that. I struggle getting them back together. Propane torch is too hot and the soldering iron I have isn’t hot enough. I’m restoring the tool they used to do it originally. I’m going to see if I can learn to do it that way.

Dittos Bob on the dry weather but I understand you’ve been getting quite a bit of rain up there. Its on the Maine list but we are planning a trip to Wisconsin Memorial Day weekend so, weather permitting, its going to be on a boat for a little bit. Its the original coil. It tested good on a Merc-o-Tronic. Motor seems to run well. I ran it for over two hours to see if any issues would pop up. I think its good to go. Points are the same as the Pre. WW-II Pals, Scout, Ranger, the 1hp Johnson’s, and possibly others, so they are easy to come by. They were fine in this motor but this style of points loose continuity when they sit for a long time, between the brass bar, that the wire connects to, and the contact that moves. You won’t have a spark. Most people think the coil is bad but once you take them apart and clean them, the spark returns.
