I've done it again

[Igpoe]

Hi guys, I've done it again. I've bought another boat motor that I know nothing about. It's stuck, and that may be the least of it's problems. I only want to make it reasonably run so that I could conceivably use it. To restore it cosmetically is more than I can handle for sure. I don't know the model, year or anything except it's an Evinrude with this number on the plate: 4209-04615. I got it off Ebay for $20 plus shipping, so you can imagine its' condition. What can y'all tell me about it? Anything?
I'll take whatever suggestions you may have. Oh! It's got two cylinders,(opposed), I do know that much. Many Thanks,
Dean C

Can you send us a pic? For $20, you could probably sell it for a lot more to Fish/Shrimp restaurant as a decoration item.

I can maybe send a pic after it's delivered, maybe the end of next week.

Thanks Kbait, that's a good start. Who knows what kind of magneto it has,carb,etc?

If you have hopes of turning it into a runner, I would suggest getting a shop manual and parts list and owner's manual from outboardbooks.com.

www.acmeoutboards.com has several OEM service manuals on CD for older motors.

Yep, It's kinda obvious that the biggest thing holding this motor back is gonna be the ignorance of the owner. I gotta get me some reading material first. Thanks guys for excellent suggestions.
