I picked up this 1937 sears waterwitch 2.5hp outboard motor up at a garage sale for $40. l was told it was a cleanout from an old timers shed. so lets see what a engine that is 83 years old is made of and can it be revived?

    MUSTIE. Theow your nuts and bolts jar in the tank. Pour some gas or any chemical cleaner. And just shake it. It will come out looking brand new. The tank that is you might have to clean the little parts manually

    I had a 571-10 that ran really good it needed a lot of work tho ! Those ones are rare with the gas tank like that.
