I picked this 2 stroke marine engine up a couple of weeks ago in the hopes of using it for a cool build this winter, but is was in none running condition, ive never worked on anything this old so lets figure out how it works without the use of any manuals.

    I know that 4 years ago is a long time so what I say here you have probably already found out. the cap with the grease in is for sealing the crankshaft, the other main bearing is missing the whole thing. But thanks for showing us your video.

    Hey if you watch the German guy on yesterday’s machines you should get in touch with him he has tons of knowledge and can make you parts.

    Nice old motor bud. That handle is your timing when it’s straight up and down it’s full timing when you pull to right it retards the timing. On carb that top screw is air flow ratio open it up to get more air it kind of an old school fuel air mixture. Hope you make another video getting it going.

    Also it’s an up draft carb because back in the day the machining was so poor quality that a down draft wouldn’t seal properly, I really hope that your just acting and not truly this clueless

    Blahhhh ha ha ha ha it’s a grease cup! Lmfao, I get it your figuring it out like a new guy but common that’s easy, also the needle in the float is called a tickler and when you lift it it primes the carb

    Advancing the timing farther will reduce speed.

    It’s a coil

    Move lever all the way to the left,bump start on the opposite direction you want the engine to run.must have a longer champion plug. There were several different lengths. Gas tank and line should be no more than 6 inches below the carburetor mixer

    Good times. I’ve never wanted to reach through the screen more in my life. But each man has his process. Good on you!

    find the most simplest engine and bring it back to life bot it still being simple, good luck🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

    Yah, it’s the shirt, on account of how gravity pulls on the fabric.

    That looks like an older Detroit motor, 1906 year. Not s carburetor, but a mixer.

    Made in an era where engineers knew there stuff.
