Hi folks,<br /><br /> I'm going to do my best to order the manual monday am, but in the mean time I'd like to ask a few questions about a motor I just got.<br /><br /> Today I was given a big old electric start Evinrude, model number 25924 which I was told was a 1956 30 horse unit. It came with what I'm guessing to be a 1957 Lark hood. I was also told that it runs ok but the fellow had lost the tank a while back and just wasn't interested in boating anymore anyway.<br /><br /> My silly questions;<br /><br /> Is it a 1956 30hp motor?<br /> Is it a "normal" big twin or maybe a lark?<br /> If I locate a tank and try to start it, what's the fuel ratio this brute will want?<br /> What's the story with the toggle that's in place of the tiller handle? (looks harder to use)<br /><br /> It's a great looking motor even if it is massive and heavy. I had been toying with trying an amateur restoration on an older motor one day and I think this one might serve nicely.<br /><br /> Thanks again folks!,<br /> Steve
