  • Need help! Old motor

    Hey!
    Ive recently found this old outboard in the shed and decided i wanna try and get it going. it was my dads and it hasnt been used for years but its been stored inside and wrapped up. I dont know a thing about it and i need help! i'll up load photos, the serial number is 6435317. I dont even know if its 2 stroke or 4 stroke. its only 3.5 hp. I did a pretty detailed clean of the motor and put some 2 stroke fuel in it and after a while i got it to run for about 5 seconds but then it died, after that it was making a different noise whenever i would pull the cord, sounding like there may be something wrong with compression? anyway i kept trying and the starter rope snapped so i have to fix that before i can get back to it. But if anyone has any info about this model or anything that may be helpful at all, let me know! thanks!

          Ive pulled the carby apart and cleaned it and put the whole thing back together, then when i let fuel into the carby it comes pouring out this little hole, when i pulled it apart i found this little thing but i dont have a clue where it came from or where it goes, obviously has something to do with this.. can anyone help?
