Newhaul, going way back to post 6 of this thread , it appears that you have an MD2,, not an MD2B. The starter generator gives it away. It is a great engine but even harder to get parts for than the newer MD2B. I bring this up because you would not want to be buying spare parts for it and find out later (when you really need them) that the parts are different. It is still plenty of HP for your size boat. I just ran across this thread and like it. ____Grant.

Just added a new tool to the kit on the boat
A 1973 Montgomery ward's ( clinton) air cooled 2 HP outboard for the dink saves rowing
Had to clean the carb (hasn't been started in over 15 years.) started right up.

Wonder if it would get me in and out of the marina ?
