If it ain't broke....


Well, Lil Ev (our outboard motor for the dinghy) has been running a bit rough - in fact, it has one speed...fast. Well, as fast as a 1970's 4 hp engine can go. So not really any trouble for us...except upon approach to a crowded concrete dock, or a fellow cruiser's really nice and shiny boat. So...John decided to investigate.

Now. We have no speeds. No spark. Nada. Nothing.

Oops.
 
Here's a pic of the work in progress. On our steering pedestal.
