Hi Everyone,<br /><br />I recently purchased a 1960 Evinrude Lightwin 3hp at a yard sale ($35). From what I was told by the seller, it has good compression, but hadn't been run in a bit. I would like to throw this little guy on my 12' Jon Boat for weekend fishing.<br /><br />Problem is, it was stored outside. there is no visible rust anywhere on the thing (although I haven't looked inside too much, but the outside looks good). I also can't pull the starter cord...it just won't move. I assume a little oil in the cylinders might help.<br /><br />I don't mind doing a complete overhaul, but would like to avoid it. I just don't want to hurt something by just starting her up. <br /><br />Anyone know of any problem areas to look for, or any tell-tale trouble signs...may help me to figure out the level of work that I should expect.<br /><br />At the very least I will replace the impeller...anything else that you would suggest?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Petey
