"Very cool motor. Take care of

"Very cool motor. Take care of it and you can give it to your grandkids. Depending on what kind of boat you have it on, you could use a 9"x9" Michigan Wheel #12009 prop or 9"x10"(763583)Michigan Wheel #12011 prop, 9"x11" Michigan Wheel #12013 prop. Take a look in the parts dept. I think they have all three of these props for your motor. Get a hold of Andrew if you have trouble finding what you need. I dont know too much about Minn Kota, but I know I've seen replacement props in Walmart, and in the obvious boating stores, West Marine, Boaters World..."
 
"(Carburetor Adjustments -

"(Carburetor Adjustments - Two Adjustable N/Vs)
(J. Reeves)

Initial settings are: Bottom high speed = seat gently, then open 1 turn out. Top slow speed = seat gently, then open 1-1/2 turns.

Setting the high and low needle valves properly:

NOTE: For engines that DO NOT have a shift selection, obviously there is no NEUTRAL position. Simply lower the rpms to the lowest setting to obtain the low speed needle valve adjustment.

(High Speed) Start engine (it will run pretty rough), shift into forward gear, take up to full throttle. In segments of 1/8 turn, waiting for the engine to respond between turns, start turning in the bottom high speed needle valve. You'll reach a point whereas the engine will either start to die out or spit back (sounds like a mild backfire). At that point, back out the needle valve 1/4 turn. Within that 1/4 turn, you'll find the smoothest setting.

(Low Speed) Slow the engine down to where it just stays running. Shift into neutral. Again in segments of 1/8 turns, start to turn the top needle valve in. Wait a few seconds for the engine to respond. As you turn the valve in, the rpms will increase. Lower the rpms again to where the engine will just stay running. Eventually you'll hit the point where the engine wants to die out or it will spit back. Again, at that point, back out the valve 1/4 turn. Within that 1/4 turn, you'll find the smoothest slow speed setting.

When you have finished the above adjustments, you will have no reason to move them again unless the carburetor fouls/gums up from sitting, in which case you would be required to remove, clean, and rebuild the carburetor anyway.

"Hi there,

My half-cent&#39

"Hi there,

My half-cent's worth...

If you're going electric start, make sure that you have a charging system with rectifier/regulator set up... Nothing worse that a flat battery after trolling electric all day...

Might be worth your while to install a charging system even though you might not go electric start route.

Maybe some of Ye Olde Sea Dawgs here has advice if this motor has a facility to charge?

Regards!

Benjamin."
 
The old dogs say ----NO CHARGI

The old dogs say ----NO CHARGING KIT ---was ever offered.A good battery will start a motor in good condition for months.
 
Another old dog says make sure

Another old dog says make sure you can rope start that motor with a down battery or use a separate battery for trolling..that motor in good shape actually dont need electric start..i fished with one for years and would probably still have it but someone did a midnight requisition one halloween night...
