Evinrude Boat Motor

[special_ed_phillips]

Thanks for telling me what my old motor was. Now, I purchased a 3 hp Johnson that looks just like mine the # on the side is E2748399. I hope the rod and piston will interchange with my 66 evinrude. I was wondering what year the Johnson was. Also, what is the TCW oil you were talking about? Will any 2 cycle oil at a 24:1 work? Thanks Again ED.

Re: Evinrude Boat Motor

Johnson's will have a model number. Try looking for a JW(something)-number on the side. If the engine is close in years, the rods are probably the same. They'll have part numbers cast into them.<br />TCW is for watercooled engines. Plain old 2 stroke oil is usually for air cooled (hot) engines. TCW-3 is a standard for better 2-stroke oil, and is available anywhere (WalMart has it). <br />Order yourself up a manual before you start puting things back together. On second though, get one before you start pulling things apart! You'll thank yourself.
