"Here is what I have so far.
it is a 1956 Monty Wards Sea King (I think a company made Gale made these)
it is model number 35GG-9015A.
I have taken apart the lower end, and relubricated after the transmission? started to slip. After reassembley, I no longer have Nuetral, but I do not need it, this motor is not equiped with reverse. The forward gear seems fine now.
I have inspected the coils and plugs, the motor is running on both cylinders for sure, I verfied this by uplugging the plugs while the motor was running, both kept the engine turning over.
I am pretty sure that the carb needs adjustment, but I am not sure how to do this. I have no expirience with outboards, nor 2 cycle engines, but I can rebuild a lawnmower engine all day. There is a Lean/Rich adjustment screw on the side of the carb as well as a dial on the front of the motor. I did not see an idle screw, this is where I beleive it may need adjustment. The motor seems to run best if you turn the dial a little bit more to the lean side, if you run it too lean it stalls. When I crank it up to full throttle, I dont think it is coming up to full RPMs. Any ideas on how I can get more preformance out of this motor? I have it strapped to a 10' Jon Boat and as of right now, I would be lucky if I was making 5 knots accross the water. I was able to get the same performance out of a 1.2 hp gamefisher my dad used to have."
