I'm also looking for a Tachometer. Mine is 3-1/4 inches across the back. The front is black, goes to 6000 RPM and has a chrome ring measuring 3-3/4" across on the front.

They're drums. I plan on owning the boat for many years and don't anticipate ever having it in salt water. Google's not helping. I'll have to put my eyes on the trailer.

1. I was inquiring if I had discarded the piece with the old block. More self-deprecating than anything else.

The fuel tank was nearly empty when I got it. 5-6 gallons. I put a bottle of Heat in and filled up with super unleaded. So yes there's still some old fuel in there but it's predominately new.
