[QUOTE="Slimcowboy1978, post: 471448, member: 23997"] So let me recap my questions... first, I can’t find the air silencer listed in the parts manual (the round plate that may or may not have had a screen that screws onto the carburetor with two screws). Is this in fact a air silencer? Where do I find one? Second, the control cables, how do I look those up? By engine, or by manufacturer of the side mount control box? Third, in my original post I stated Coils, Wires, Points & Condensers, Spark Plugs, and water impeller kit, and carburetor kit. Are there any other items for a “Tune-Up” I should be looking at getting since I am digging in this deep? Fourth, the idle mixture knobs? Where do I find those in the parts book? Lastly if this motor is in good running order, how much is it worth? Is it worth me putting a tune on it just to sell it to recoup the loss of purchasing the larger motor? Like I said I can get a 35hp Johnson for $500-600 unknown condition. [/QUOTE]
