I have a 1968 Evinrude 40hp Big Twin. I got the motor freed with some mystery oil and a break bar on crankshaft. I then cleaned all connections.
I got the keg ignition to turn the motor over! I rebuilt the starter motor and took apart the carb. Pictures included.
The spark plug spring boot was rusted to cap of spark plug. I will need need spark plug boots to do spark test.
Should I put carb back on and see if I can get it to fire? I want to try compression also. Right now, the shifter arm isn't moving. I am assuming it needs grease in the fitting badly.
Also, the prop isn't spinning, what should I do?
