Streets............Propagated propane ????????....What the hells that???? Easy now I'm a ninth grade drop out you know...What happened to you anyhow????......Sounds like you got busted up pretty bad....I'm a walking (usually) medical miracle..I survived polio at the age of five...It weakened all my muskels which makes sprains a general part of life..Add a few vehicle mishaps and other accidents and away we go !!!!....More like away we don't go !!!... If it ain't one damn thing its another..There was a time when everybody got into the outboard business..You name it there was an outboard named something....Champion/Firestone/Goodyear/Clinton/Lauson/etc etc etc....I bury them upright in my yard for conversation pieces...They are pretty much a waste of time to get running and to use.The ignition voltage was too weak from the get go and over the years it did not get any better..It took Mercury Marine up into the 1980's to finally get a CD ignition system that worked good..The old point type systems Mercury had worked real good...You rarely ever had to adjust the points let alone change them..The contacts were made from top grade everything and sometimes out lasted the powerhead...To make a cheap motor they had to go offshore (below 6HP)...The engineering standards at Fond Du Lac are too high for throw away crap...Every American made outboard made by Mercury is made in Fond Du Lac Wisconsin in one huge building.!!!...I would like to see that operation... Hang in there ...Al...
