Just bought a ‘75 2hp for $25. New impeller, replaced fuel line, cleaned the onboard tank (w/ acetone(, cleaned carb, cleaned/set points (removed flywheel using the ‘rope’ trick) and she started right up on the 2nd pull and runs perfectly!

Me too. Very cool.

I note in the parts diagram for the gear case there are options for standard drive and weedless drive. Looks like the weedless drive has the prop angled down. I didn't even know something like that was ever offered as an option. Interesting.

Standard gearcase was a 90 degree gearcase.
Weedless gearcase was a 110 degree gearcase.
Propshaft angle in case you are wondering.
