I have a 1972 Evinrude 9.5 hp “Sportwin”. It runs fine but I have noticed that the cowling has no significant openings for air to get to the carburetor. There are some small openings around the controls, but they are very small. How does this motor breathe?

the same way it has been for almost 50 years (and all the models and years before/after)

thru all the small openings in the cowl

Take a really good look at the front control panel on this motor.----I sure think that all is well with this motor.
