    facebook and all the misinformation

    both facetube and youbook have the same amount of misinformation. I try steering folks to old truck forums that I am on or hot rod forums or iBoats. however they would rather find a youtube video than get a manual.

    Mid engine whaler from 60s or70s

    welcome aboard. Not to my knowledge. however mullet boats and crab boats look whaler-esque and the outboard is mounted up-high in the middle of the boat with a forward mounted console so the prop goes down the tunnel to allow the boat to travel in only 4-6" of water to get to where the mullet...

    Orientation of coil on end of bimetal strip is temperature dependant. Line up pin and coil, loosely clamp, then turn the choke clockwise to line up the marks. At -10 like you mentioned (assuming C not F). It would be about 130-150 degrees off when you first line up the pins

    that will kill a 2-stroke as ether doesnt have the required oil to lubricate never start a 2-stroke on ether. Ether is for staring diesel engines. a mix of 2-stroke fuel in a spray bottle is what you should always use if you need to use anything.

    Ford 302 pinging

    jet skis can operate under water for about 10-seconds before the natural boyancy will pop it back to the surface. this is done with a labyrinth style air box and the ability to expel water same technology that allows submarining a jet ski also allows for this low-profile outboard to live life...

    Welcome aboard. the stickies at the top of the page have the standard ABYC color codes that will help you identify the wiring. most boat companies dont have published schematics (many just buy a harness from a supplier to be a companion to the harness that comes with the motor)
