Also, does anyone know where I could get extra sheer pins for this motor? Does anyone know where I could get a replacement pull start handle? Lastly, I would love to bring this motor to someone and have someone check it out and help me know the critical maintenance and how to properly use it. I could see that it could turn right and left but I have no idea what it is for or how to use it. What is it? I see in the diagram that there is a "Carb Shut off needle" it is on the front of the engine and below the throttle. My question involves the meaning and use of the "shut off valve". I took it out another day still with no fire. So I went to the manual and made sure I had gas, Vent cap was open and primed it for 8 to 10 seconds. The very next time I tried to use it, I could not get the engine to fire. I ran it for about 30 minutes and then took the boat in. 3 pulls later the engine fired and ran great. So I put the mixed gas in the engine and put it on the boat. So I called a local repair shop and I asked them about mixing the oil. Two years goes by and the engine is not used at all. He cleaned them and the engine ran great.

My uncle who had this engine for the last 30 years had someone work on it and told my uncle that it was in excellent condition except that there were two filters that had to be cleaned. Now I have possession of it and hope to use it on my private lake. My Grandfather bought this engine new back in the early 50’s.
