the perfect person to help you would be Bill Mayer of Mayers Marina. He is located at the outlet of Irondequoit Bay on the Webster side.

Bill is probably the only one who can help you right on the spot.

Hey Rolly,

Thanks for the info...that's the engine, but I only paid sixty for it at an auction this year...I was told by my mechanic that it probably only had a season or two on it...really sweet shape!!! I will get ahold of Bill for sure. Thanks again pal.

He will have all the spare parts that you need.

You should be aware that your little outboard does not have needle bearings. That means that you will have to run it with a mix of 1:24.
