Simple and straight forward, based on 1960's designs, mechanically generally
reliable. The weak spot would be the electronic ignition, as they switched
to "MagnaPower" CD ignition in the 1970's after bouts with a magneto
ignition and conventional battery ignition. The modules may be hard to
find, as well as some other parts, but that engine changed very little as it
was absorbed into US Marine / Force / Brunswick and there is still some OEM
and a lot of aftermarket and salvage parts support.
