   That motor is a 1965. The 1962 had 2 needles and the skinny exhaust leg

   @donyboy73 That and I don’t have the money to see if it runs. I took the cowling off a few weeks ago and turned the flywheel over by hand to see if the pistons were free. They moved just fine and it felt like it had tons of compression in it.

   Nice little motor.

   Makes me wish you lived closer to me, and that I had the money. I’d bring my 40hp Evinrude to you.

   KEWL! It’s pretty tough to kill these old engines…..I’m glad you just soaked it and didn’t disassemble it…Wonder if the compression readings changed much…

    @snaponjohn100 soaked it with massive amounts of penetrating oil and after it ran it just ran better and better

    That is a nice old engine I was born in 1961 and I had one like that back when I was in the NAVY in south Carolina it was used on a 12 foot boat . I also seen one for sale at a yard for 30 .00 and it was running but not as good as yours . I would ask $50.00 for it .
    Keep up the great videos!!!
