Yes those marks are a reflection. You had me worried for a minute but if you look close you will see a redish line down the middle, that is the reflection from my engine hoist.
I have more invested in the tools than I would like to confess to but I wanted to make sure it went together right.
Yes she is running, I have a short video of her first time. I did not have an hour meter before so I installed one before I fired it up for the first time. I now have 1.3 hours on it but they are all on the muffs or in a tub. I need to put it in the water to set the idle while in forward gear.
I have rebuilt auto engines before but never a outboard let alone a 2 stroke.
All and all I am happy with the way it has turned out so far. I'll try to keep you posted as the break in process.
