    Evinrude 75 HP

    I am looking at what I believe to be a 1961 Evinrude Starflite 75. Model #50525 Serial #07078. Motor runs but does not go into forward, works fine in reverse. Is this a major fix? I can get the motor cheap and have a 60's vintage boat to put it on and thought it would make a nice project...

    Sparkplugs: 1975 Johnson 25 hp

    I was perusing my manual for the motor. Noticed it recommended Champion plugs which croosed over to NGK B8S. Noticed my motor had B6S plugs in it. What would having these plugs in the motor instead of the B8S plugs mean or do?
