About 6 years ago, we found this outboard on the transom of a 1965 boat in a barn in Northern Ohio.
The condition of the engine and boat would suggest that neither had seen much use in the last 50+ years.
After replacing the spark plugs, providing a fresh fuel/oil mix and a new battery--to my amazement the engine started!
We used the boat for about 4 seasons and did nothing to the engine except having the lower end rebuilt (no documentation of work) and the rectifier replaced (that is not the problem, because the starting battery is still not charging) and I retained the original selenium rectifier as it tests good. Although it has not ran in over 2 years the new buyer can have the engine test run before buying.

GM cuts Facebook ad spending, but Ford steps on the gas

In other words, GM will not pay Facebook for ads but will continue to maintain content, for which Facebook doesn't collect revenue. News of the decision was reported in The Wall Street Journal. But GM's position is far from universal.

The Lamborghini LP570-4 Superleggera - video below We knew it was coming. We just didn’t know at first if it would be a Superleggera or a Super Veloce. Our money was on Superleggera, but the SV tag seemed a possibility after the success of the LP670-4 SV.
