![]() ![]() ![]() I replaced the plug with an AC R45S which is the modern version of the recommended plug and gapped to. 017.No wonder it was hard to start and seemed to burn rich.(from my research that plug in no way applies to this motor) I tried to measure the gap on a gapping disc and the disc would not fit on the lowest end. I pulled the motor out today to give it a tune up.I drained out the stinky dark black oil out of the foot and refilled with Pennzoil Marine Lube.Pulled out the spark plug(a NGK CS5) and took a look at it.black and sooty with almost no gap.No kidding. Last year I bought a small boat that came with a 7.5 hp Ted Williams outboard(basically a tecumseh mower engine).I took it out a few times,probably less than 3 hours use in total.A series of family emergencies put an end to my fishing last year.The motor ran okay, a bit buzzy and hard to start.I'm used to Evinrudes and Mercury,never had an air cooled before this. ![]()
