Thanks for the reassuring words guys. I had kinda reached that conclusion myself by the end of the day yesterday but just needed a shove in that direction to set it in stone.

I'll be ordering a carb kit, fuel pump diaphragm kit, and having a buddy of mine put some crimp-style plug ends on there instead of the crappy pointed sparkie style ones that make poor connection and generally just don't work that well.

After replacing those things, if it still doesn't seem to want to work right, I'll be looking for a capable outboard mechanic to look at it...Do you guys have any suggestions? I have a friend that works at Fay's and he suggested a guy by the name of Dave as he has experience with old outboards. Hopefully he'll look at the Chrysler as lots of people don't even want to bother with it.
