My Dad would shoot me and I don't even have a boat!!

Sorry, no photos or vid, but got Dad's 37 4.2 hp (LT-37) fired up in the barrel a few minutes late tonight, and earlier, got the "new" 63 Evinrude 10 to run

Dad's needs carb work even tho it was stored "dry" and not sure what the lower unit is doing. Does not seem to be taking on water, but leaking a little gear oil

The 63 10 might be leaking water into the gear case. There was some in it, I was hoping (as little as it was) that a change of oil every season might "do" it. Looks like "not." And, the carb is dirty, no surprise. I put the new coils I bought on it, and am waiting for FOUR MORE NEW COILS!!!! LOL

The 5 hp sea king I took the powerhead off in order to remove the shroud, because the carb I bought is slightly different and wont fit the shroud. This turned out to be a wise move because I found out the spring loaded lower crank seal had the spring IN THE BOTTOM OF the lower unit!!! Someone dropped it. So waiting for a gasket between powerhead and lower unit

Christ I have junk apart all over the place
