    Motor identification

    That is an ESKA; one of their few water-cooled varieties. It is either rated at 9.9 or 15 HP depending on the carburetor and prhaps some other variables. One word of caution: :NEVER rope the motor over with the spark plug wires de-tached. The ignition module is VERY sensitive to that and...

    Value of Yamaha 25 hp outboard?

    1980 Chrysler 6HP Link and Synch Question

    Hello.... Can anyone tell me the procedure for setting the carburetor linkage? I am assuming that the scribe mark on the mag-plate cam is a reference and should mark the spot on the cam that should make first contact with the carb-linkage follower.....but when I set it that way the carburetor...
