factory 487 #2 Posted June 19, 2017 That is a different version of the Aquabug outboard which was sold as the Perry Aquabug over here. I scanned the owners manual for the Perry Aquabug & added a pdf of it to this thread a few months ago; Note if you leave fuel in it the tank with the vent closed & the temperature changes too much it can split. The most common problem you are likely to find with the O&R engine is a perished carb diaphragm, both Webhead & Wallfish on here have new ones and the carb repair thread shows how to replace it. I did see one of the Mini Motor outboards for sale on ePay recently, it was a bit odd though as two sellers were trying to sell the same item at the same time and they both ended early too. The tank was split on that one as well. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O&R Outboard 1 #3 Posted June 19, 2017 Thanks for the info! My fuel tank is intact so that is a positive. The carb was gummed up with yellow gunk and the diaphragm looked intact but 'stuck' so I'm letting the carb soak. The gunk is coming out and hopefully the diaphragm will survive.

Webhead 95 #4 Posted June 20, 2017 To run top notch, it will need a diaphragm. Just sayin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O&R Outboard 1 #5 Posted June 20, 2017 Sounds good, this one is looking pretty old. I'll send you a PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O&R Outboard 1 #6 Posted July 14, 2017 Cleaned out the point and carb and it's alive! The new diaphragm should help out a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
