Thanks Clams. It is the 2 cylinder. Both boat and motor need work
before taking it out. Plus motor needs a prop. As I understand it,
current aluminum prop was unsuccessful at breaking up an underwater
boulder when fishing to close to a dam. :^) In the meantime, I do
want to at least get that motor running again. I should have the
boat home by this weekend. I don't know what the current prop is
to get the replacement yet.

If that's the 2 cylinder 40, I'd start it at 2 turns out from seated. Adjust
it while trolling. Screw it IN slowly to go leaner till it starts sneezing.
then back it out to where it stops sneezing. THEN back it out 1/2 turn.

That'll be real close - hole shot tells the rest.
