Almost have the powermatic back together. Determined that it will fire over and run with the coils/laminations that is has now. Now I need to find a Mercury/Wizard female fuel line connector that fits on the engine-end of the motor. Any ideas what size this is, or a source? Thanks.
Well, I put the 55 Wizard WN7 Powermatic 12 in the test barrel today after securing a female fuel fitting on Flebay. It dripped a little gas...very slowly, so I need to revisit the carb float, but it came to life on the fourth pull and ran pretty well in N. I went a little heavy on the fuel/oil mix, 16:1 instead of 24:1 because I wasn't sure and it smoked heavily when I got on the throttle. Was able to smooth it out by slight tweaking of the high and low speed jets, but it wants to die when I drop it in gear with the throttle down in the shift range. Not always, but guess I still have some tuning to do. Is it all right to run this gem at 24:1? And is there a common cause for dogging when it drops into gear? Thanks in advance for any input and for your help in getting this far with it. :)
