While working on my Evinrude Sportsman, I noticed what looks like a fracture in the prop. I know that I could have it repaired but, I would prefer to find one that is in better shape. My motor has the right angle gear case . I believe that they were also made with the fisherman [down angled]...
I need to purchase a spark plug for this little outboard. All the information I can find online is for older [1938-42] engines. That says the OME plug for it was a Champion J-8 or H-10 . Does anyone know if that is correct to the 1946 models? Or , if it is not , what plug was in it when it was new?
I am getting different answers to this question on the AOMCI ask a member, so I thought I would post it here for some input. I need to know what type of lube goes in the gearcase of this 1946 Model 4409 Evinrude I believe it is stiff grease [like corn head] but not sure.I am also wondering if...
I have this 1946 Evinrude Sportsman model 4409 that I have started to rebuild .It runs well and unlike me, is in good shape for its age. I would like to change the "wrap a rope "start pulley to a recoil type. I have been searching for info on what models used the same recoil [looks like the...

I have a British Silver Seagull model WSPCL that I have done some research on and some questions have popped up. It is missing the carburetor and I believe the one that came on it was a AMAL 416. So far the only ones I have found are overseas and the shipping is rather high. I see that they use...

I just came into this Silver Century and have a few questions about it. It is mostly intact but is missing the carburetor . Before I purchase one and have it shipped from overseas, I would like to know if it is salvageable. I did a compression check, and came up with 50-60 lbs. [keep in mind...
I recently came into this little outboard ,and the carburetor needed service it was full of gunk . I opened it up and cleaned the bowls [had to make a new cork float] This is my first time with this type of carburetor, any special "look for" details? I am assuming that the included poppet valve...
I am working on a 1946 Evinrude Sportsman 2 HP outboard model 4409 . The coil checks bad and needs replacement . Can I use the "OMC coil fix" by removing the windings from the common 2-40 HP coil and applying them to the laminates from this motor? I measured the laminate size that would go...
