I do wonder if engines could be linked together though.
The picture is actually a diagram showing the Aquabug being raised or lowered for shallow water operation, from my Perry Aquabug owner's manual. The book does lie about the power of the O&R, it claims it's 1.2HP, not sure I believe that the carb was electronically setup at the factory either.
The full manual will be added when I've scanned it all and created a pdf.

Thanks Factory, that would be awesome to have a owner's manual available.
You're further along than most because they usually need a new carb diaphragm to get them running.
Where is the fuel coming from that's flies everywhere? Smoke yes, fuel no.
You may be able to cut down on some of the smoke if you are mixing it 24:1 like the label states to do. That was for mixing 30W oil back in the old days but modern 2 stroke oil is a much better lubricant nowadays. Use a good quality AIR cooled engine 2 stroke oil and mix 32:1.
Actually, the diaphragm is bad. The fuel is coming out the vent hole on the dry side of the diaphragm. I've got parts coming from webhead. Yahoo! I'll miss the excitement of running a spark prone engine with raw fuel everywhere. Really keeps the senses up. LOL
You have to be careful with the tank cap. If the the fuel and air inside are warm, then the vent is closed and the temp gets cold enough, it will collapse the the tank enough to split it. Guess how I know about that?
Well, my new outboard for my canoe and kayak had a few surprises. It had an O&E motor not a Tanaka and I thought for $34 why not? It runs with a little tinkering, but fuel flies everywhere! LOL I found you all tonight so I thought I'd join the group and keep this ole girl running. Any advice welcome. It sure was exciting to hear it finally spring back to life, blue smoke everywhere...reminded me of my childhood. My dad's a tinker, I'm the son of a tinker. Soon to be tinker.
Aquabug surprise!
