Top pull cord does not pull to start motor:

I may be mistaken, but there should be three openings down in the area of your “green Stick’ The green stick looks to be pointing to the cooling water intake. On the other side of the propeller should be the water outlet opening. On the back side of the water inlet is there another opening? that would be the engine exhaust.  your motor does not have a water pump. Cooling water circulates by a presser  / Vacuum system.

well, my video is too big to post.  Two pictures.  The first shows the green stick again in same spot as the picture I sent yesterday.  Directly across from it is a hole , red stick, that sort of goes upward.

On the opposite end of the part where the green stick is, is also an open hole – hopefully seen in 2nd picture – engine exhaust?

Are these the three openings you are referencing?

Thank you.

[JOSEPH BRINCAT]

Yep’ , the green stick is in the water intake port, the red stick is in water discharge. The opening on the very back end is the underwater engine exhaust. Inside the leg of the motor there are two water tubes going up to the power head, one is a water supply the other a water return  If you look up under the flywheel these tubes may be visible where they connect to the power head. Because this water circulation system has no mechanical pump but rely on pressure and vacuum these tubes must be intact and air tight for the system to work properly.

Thanks on that confirmation.  No, I do not see any tubes under the flywheel.

Hopefully starting will be soon in which I’ll need a fuel/oil mix.   And if there is a specific oil to use.

Here are a few more pictures to identify please.  I may have to post twice.

a.  is the first picture the choke?

b.  Next picture looks like 1) a throttle, 2) a fuel bowl – that insert (picture 3) looks more like a carburetor float than a filter) and 3) a shut off valve?

[CFB]

Here is the underside of the flywheel.  Just see the two spark plug wires as well as wires from this retard /stop button.

a.  what is this retard button

b.  you see purple dots on the side of the flywheel, a couple spaced close to each other and then a few more widespread – do these indicate anything?

[CFB]

Last one for today.  A picture of a fuel cock at bottom of gas tank.  If this is a shut off, what is the purpose from my first post of a shut off valve?  Double protection or , which is possible, I’m not sure what they are.  thanks

 

I guess I should ask too about any starting procedure documents that may be available on this forum or elsewhere?  The decal on the gas tank is rubbed off for the most part.  thanks

Before you jump into starting you need to check to see if you have spark from the magneto. We can get into that next.

As for your photos… the first is an exhaust cut-out port. Normally would be closed, however with it open could make starting easier as it reduces backpressure in the exhaust system… remember that when on a boat the exhaust outlet is submerged.

Next pix.. your carburetor… the three position lever is marked F fast, S Slow C for choke.   The small brass knob is the carb high speed fuel adjusting needle.  The cork thing is indeed the fuel bowl float the controls the fuel level in the bowl as it pulls up the fuel inlet stop valve.

Yes, the last pix is the fuel tank shut-off petcock.

Mr. CFB,   not to make any assumptions about your familiarity with this engine and it’s operation but , I think that it would be good to back up a bit in this conversation.

What would have been helpful at the onset and should have been asked, is where are you located and what is your knowledge level and familiarity with gasoline engines in general? Also, what mechanical and electrical tools and resources do you have access too? And your confidence level in their use. Knowing your location will be helpful in identifying local resources to help with your motor.

Sure.  Pretty much all I’ve learned has been hands-on following manual or forum advice – no formal training.  Repairing tractors has been my training ground, but mostly all mechanical, ie replacing parts, not much electrical or engine repair.  Maybe the closest was rebuilding the tractor carburetors.   I have no knowledge of boat motors.  I tried to find old manuals or instructions but could not find any.  I live about 20 miles south of Cleveland, Ohio.   Generally, I think I’m fairly good at following instructions and studying what I have and asking questions.  Electrical wise, I have a multi-meter only used a few times with specific instruction, turn the dial to this and put the probes here and there.  Hope that addresses what you wanted to know.
