I've done some homework and can't find nothing on this Evinrude 4.5 Model # E5RCS Serial # E0002775

All I know is that the tag also say 4.5 hp @ 5000 rpm.

It has a pull cord with a built in gas tank.. It also has reverse.

I'd like to know the year, fuel mixure, or any info you may no about this outboard..

Thx. Joe

Hi,

I have the same engine, but a 1982 with the external tank.

Mix is 50:1

Spark plug is a Champion QL86C

And so far (I've had it for a week) it runs like a treat. Simple engine and hopefully not much too go wrong. I use it on my tender and with just me in the 2.5m inflatable it gets up on the plane, but with the wife fails to.

I have yet to find a reasonable priced service manual, but if I do I'll let you know.

Thx guy's

I just bought this from my neighbor lastnight for $150..

It looks like its hardly been used. My neighbor told me it's a strong runner and I prob. won't find a better deal.

Well the good news is, is that I know where he live.. Lol

I'm going to use this motor on my 1999 10' (mini pontoon) Pelican w/ a 28 trolling motor.. It should be perfect for the river as long as the current isn't to strong..

Thx again..
