I'm like you, I like anything old, cars , tractors, trucks, outboard motors, some body has to keep them going

Great job getting it running. Looking forward to more videos

Thank you!

Mine always let me get to over half way across lake and died,it would get to hot and shut down. I would have to wait for it to cool down fish a little and get half way back and paddle from there. I went and got a 6 horse johnson and it didnt happen anymore. I still collect old ones for show.

Nice find with the new tank, I think the old one looked slightly more balanced overall but having seen how bad it was then it was beyond repair, the only option would have been to make a new one and that’s a great deal of work. All in all a super little engine that will look brilliant once polished and painted.

I've learned quite a bit watchin yer channel. You boost my confidence to try a small project. Maybe I can find a vintage outboard or garden tractor to hone my skills a bit more before try a bigger tractor. (8n or 9n). A willys would be dream and probably beyond my skills. But watching you and how you approach a project in small bites, makes me think I could try. Nothing ventured nothing gained, right? Thanks for the inspiration.

If I can do it, you can do it! Taking these projects one step at a time helps me not feel overwhelmed.

That motor needs a 16 to 1 gas oil mix. They are neat little motors, I’ve got two and my daughter has one. She did a cosmetic restore on it. It didn’t need any mechanical work. That brass polishes up nice.

Thanks. I will adjust the mixture for next time!

I still think you should coat the inside of the fuel tank. Neat little trolling motor though. Good job getting it running!!

Good idea. I have some Red Kote I might try. Thanks for the idea.

Nice work. You should watch Chickanic's experiment with TruFuel and how bad that gas is. Very interesting. Motor would be a good back up for fishing boat.
