I have inherited a 48" fibreglass hull along with a box of RC bits and pieces and and engine described as a "Panther Marine 46 with pull start" .
Hours of web searching tells me this company has ceased to exist but i found the Macoa 46. Marine with pull start and it appears to be identical ?
Please answer the following questions for me
1, Where do the 2 pipes attached to the engine head lead ?
2, Does the pipe on the carb run directly to the fuel tank ?
3, Is the bullet shaped part on the right side a muffler and where should the rubber pipe attached to it lead ?
4, i have a plug in tool that i assume to be a starter as it fits so well over the spark plug , but i can find nothing that attaches to the plug to power a spark once the engine is running , am i missing something and if so what ?
Thanks in advance for any answers and i'd be ever so grateful for a link to a diagram or pictures .
This is my first attempt at RC and i fear i will blow it up before i get started !

Sorry for the slow response as we are in different time zones i would assume you sleep when i'm awake and visa versa .
