Re: Need help

I see a 12902C-R, which is a 1979. Don't know what the -R means.

Hey guys thanks for the quick reply!

Maybe a 79 model yous are thinking?

I just rechecked the model number and it is exactly the same as what i wrote. Heres some pictures of the engine. Maybe someone will know by looking at them?

As F_R said, the 12902 C is a 1979 12HP Evinrude: http://web.archive.org/web/20011214122750/www.evinrude.com/docktalk/modref/evmodyr/EHP12.html

It was listed as a commercial outboard.

I got the same motor and will post you its model number and photo soon. You can tell that
is was a 12 a ghostly 2 appears if you look sharply.
Mine had E-12xxx RSC and A at the end.... after some research on the web i found the following
R S = Rope Start C= Commercial
the A at the end means in Made in Austraila. Also confusingly the serial number badge had
Evinrude Canada Ltd. I hope you find this info useful. I love this engine sort of outperforms many larger
ones, however it pulls out of gear lately usless I tie the level to forward. I think it will need a cluth or something
please if you find parts for it let me know
Here is a link of a video of it moving too.

If you can make it stay in gear, you likely have a bent/gummed up shift fork/cradle. That's good news if you've priced dogs and forward gears!

Thanks again
