The 1962 Merc 70, the 300 HP Mercury, or the 250 Yami?

The weight of my new boat dry is 650, I bet it is close to that for the Yami 250.

Well, last week I got the carbs cleaned up and replaced the fuel line, fittings, bulb, and portable tank. Filled the can with fresh gas/oil. Got a big trashcan to run the motor in, and charged a starting battery.

Yesterday I began at 11 am. The motor spun perfect and one puff of smoke was seen, then nothing.

Tried pumping the bulb, starting fluid, grinding on the starter for long periods........nothing.

So I checked the spark...no spark. Went to take the distributor cap off and saw the timing belt hanging down from under the top. (Who knew there was a timing belt on an outboard motor.....not me)

Went to my local "old school" boat repair store and they had a belt IN STOCK!!!!

I stumbled through installing the belt (I think I got it right).

Turned the key and she jumped to life like a brand new FI motor.
