Hello, glad to find an active forum discussing issues vast and small about these motors.
First off, I would like to know what year my motor is, Serial #7156898.
Next question, what type of spark plug does my motor require? Also I had it out on the water last year, everything seems to work decent. I purchased to motor for $50.00. Replaced the water pump impeller myself.
While fishing last year, my motor doesnt seem to want to stay running at idle (making trolling no fun), replaced the diaphragm in the carb (it looked stretched). Also at WOT sometimes it sounds like its revved up and at full speed, but sometimes it revs up, but surges back and forth to lower RPMS. When first starting the motor the day of, it takes quite a few pulls. After its been running, it becomes easier to restart.
Any help or comments by those with much more experience would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
