Looks like you have it under control. Those engines were sensitive about lubrication. Nothing less than 24:1 minimum.

Looking for a project myself. Glad you could get it apart without snaping anything off. That's my fear.
okay so I'm into my lower unit gear box now. What kind of sealant would you guys recommend on the spaghetti gasket? Also I want to replace my shift rod o-ring, but I'm not sure how to get the shift rod bushing out. I saw a guy on the internet tap the bushing then use a bolt and ply wood to remove it like a home made puller. This would work but I don't have a replacement bushing.
I just picked one of these up as well. I replaced the impeller, lower unit oil and just rebuilt the carb after it started bogging down at full throttle under load. Excited to get it in the water again to see how it does.
Also be careful with the pull start recoil spring. Mine snapped while trying to get it going.

Where is the fuel pump getting its pressure pulse from?
