    Vintage Spoon Identification

    I have decent luck with some newer wobblers I got about 25 years ago. The gold one, like the pic, but dimpled. Not sure if they are OEM, Mooselook, but they certainly look just about the same, but the metal seems cheaper and the hooks rusted out and I had to swap them, but - that same gold 4"...

    Vintage Spoon Identification

    the largest gold one is stamped 22, and I think I read Miller stamped on it.

    Vintage Spoon Identification

    I was going to post a photo of a collection of spoons, that were hand me downs over the years. Several are stamped Mooselook Wobbler, and a few others look familiar, but there are some odd ones. Some of the Daredevil looking ones, are stamped Made in USA, but I don't see a logo or indicator of...

    flat line trolling for trout

    I've had good luck this spring with the Rapalas, just trolled behind a little rowboat. Faster seems to work a little better, probably 3-3.5 mph .. and I never did it before in a river, but same technique got a bunch of rainbows from a local river, was very productive. Going both ways, just the...

    Just to make sure I don't do anything too dumb. You mean on the coil, yes? I can just file that down? It already looks like it has chewed a bit of it out, so I have no doubt where it is rubbing. How thick is the housing, I guess if I made a hole I could seal it with RTV or something. Just...

    If I had to guess I never got the head to seal correctly, and at higher temps it leaks more, and affects running. The exhaust gasket I suspect leaks a bit too, but I don't think that would affect running particularly if it is a relatively small leak. Some water collects at the base, and I...

    I did the water pump on this motor last year, and it seems to be working correctly. I put a new fuel pump in it last year as well.

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    When it stalled, I cupped water in my had and poured it over the head and spark plugs expecting it to steam, and it didn't. also, the compression numbers point to the piston not seizing, so - I could not make a guess as to why it stalled. It starts a bit hard, but not too bad, and it super...

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    top plug on right, these look pretty decent to me, but what do I know? One of them appeared to have little white specs on it from the last run, so - I assumed detonation or overheating. I ran it for about 1.5 hours on the lake. It seemed to run fine at mid/low throttle, I was able to just go...

    compression test today - 4hp 1974 Evinrude Yachtwin top 107, bottom 99 when I got the motor last year the test results I got were 100, 95 The spark plugs looked decent to me. I took a few pictures

    1968 3hp Johnson

    I lined them up, the coil seems to rub the magnet right in the fat middle part of the coil, there is a flat square thing on the rounded outer edge, it rubs there. I have no idea what else to try to align in there, other than switching the coils side to side. It is in the alignment marks and...

    1968 3hp Johnson

    I ran this motor a good bit last year. I don't know - maybe 30-50 hours of service. Trolling, just boat rides, etc. Regular use. It seemed to run good, I found a bugger in the carb bowl, and that solve the why is the float sticking question. A piece of the gasket had pinched, and sort of...

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    I gave this motor an on the lake run test end of last year. It ran strong, but still eventually started to make a squealing noise like an auto belt squeal sound, and lose power and die. It did this to me on the previous test run, and I did a bunch of fixes to it, and same behavior. That was...
