    Carb Cleaning on Chrysler 45

    Okay, I'm feeling sort of bold and saucy. I just had success at my first carb cleaning/rebuild - a 80's model Ariens snowblower with a Tecumseh F3 diaphragm carb. Ordered the carb kit, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, and adjusted - works great. Now, I have a 1967 Chrysler 45 outboard. Is...

    NewBie and a 1967 Chrysler 45 outboard

    Well, I've been suckered into owning an old fiberglass runabout with an equally old Chrysler 4571 (I believe it is a 1967 model).
