Decals look sort of like a hockey stick ?-----That would be a 1976 model

Install a new water pump impeller before your first fishing trip.-----There are 2 bore sizes , so need to measure shaft or read part # on old one.----Ends with 80 or 81 in the part #.

I plan to. I gotta get new switch box and kill switch. The wiring was fired to both.

Expensive bits they are.-----You might want to post the compression numbers before spending beer tokens on this motor.----Or remove intake bypass cover ( 3 screws ) to look at pistons and rings.

Give me few hours and I will check compression. It ran great last year. My buddy couldn't get it to start this year so I grabbed it for $100.
