Does anyone have a copy of a service manual for the “title” motor? I am trying to get the gas tank off to clean the inside.
Please let me know brauscher@sbcglobal.net

Thank you
Bill

I found these instructions for tank removal in one of these two manuals.

Thank you Mumbles. What is confusing me is that the magneto base won’t “lift out” and I don’t see what is holding it in. I don’t want to pry on it and risk breaking it.
Any ideas?

It might have old and dried out grease holding it on? Time for some heat?

This is my 5 hp Flambeau. I don’t see anything obvious on the bottom side,
but presume it has a tension screw accessed from the hole shown in the
side of the mag plate. Not sure if that could be “holding up” your mag plate
or not.

Prepare to be boarded!

A tension screw. Exactly what crossed my mind at 4 AM this morning!

Now that I see that picture, I found the inconspicuous hole and sure enough, a tension screw!
Came right off after removing the screw.

Thank you for the info.
