    Tiller usually Means Rope Start engine, yet this One has the Electric Cowl, and Battery Cables and other Wires passing thru the Front Pan. the Transom Bracket leans that way too, as the Tilt Pivot shows a long Carriage Bolt, where as the Electric Models used a Tube, allowing the Steering Cable...

    Carbs, are easy to Troubleshoot, and repair. same goes for Point Ignition. Electronic Ignition and EFI are wonderful, until they aren't, and they are extremely difficult to Troubleshoot unless you have Tens of Thousands of Dollars in Dedicated/Proprietary Test Equipment, or just want to throw...

    The Q-Jet is an Excellent Carb, provided it is unaltered from it's OEM Specs, unless the Tweaker, really understands the Q-Jet. Few People have any Real Clue as to how it reacts to Mods, because a tweak in one spot can, and will affect other parts of the Fuel Delivery Curve
