thank you mudflat for the one constructive post I checked plugs since this little motor don't have pts & condenser they were FOULED! I ran it in a barrel & ran great. It came with the 12 ft.boat plans my father built as a kid in 1950 by hand. Some of the brightwork he found snorlking in the lake with a crowbar prying off parts from whiskey runners. When he passed away I wanted pass it down to the grandkids....Marine corps motto "adapt and overcome!"
