Assuming it has good compression. Assuming it runs and has a good lower unit.
Is it worth keeping?
It looks like parts are a little hard to come by than my Johnson.

Well , if it has all the things you assume it has , wtf not , I mean it looks to be in reasonable nick . If it goes ok and doesnt have any death rattles .
1978 doesnt necessarily mean its got a lot of wear on it ...might be a tidy old donkey . After that I guess it comes down to what you have to pay to get it .🙂🙂
