Great engine. A 22cubic inch 25hp. Excellent hp/weight ratio. Read the top secret file at the top of the forum under awakening a sleeping outboard. Then if you have questions post em.

Definitely needs a new impeller. Replace it before cranking it up (don't be tempted...) because the rubber may already be cracked to pieces which will clog the cooling system. Make sure the cylinders have some lube in them because they are dry.
