RDSL-25..... 1963..... 40hp. I dont see a RDSL-250 on this sites model number guide.
 
thanks pale-o-fish i did find

thanks pale-o-fish i did find someone with a book it was a rdsl-25d i guess it is the eye sight that goes first lol. i talked to someone about the problems im having and there sayin it could be a carb problem or an ignition switch they also said it would be costly to fix about 400$ does anyone think its worth fixing this motor ?? i do have about 450$ invested in it already ..
 
You did replace the waterpump

You did replace the waterpump impeller before you took it out?That is a must do on any newly purchased motor.
