What model we talkin about? I know where you can get a Scott-Atwater service manual on CD for 46-56 models...good motors. Don't know of a source for later Scotts, but someone else probably does. Post the model number.

Don't have a model number yet, but will find out tonight.<br /><br />Laddiesservice - Am I correct in understanding that the 7.5 and under were ok but over were junk.<br /><br />From what I can see the year is based upon the model number and the last two digits are the year it was built but in reverse, i.e. 3765 was built in 1956.

No, the later model engines were better after McCullock but the over the transom models 7.5 built from 1960 on were junk. I hate to admit it but a worked for a dealer for a couple of years. The old Scott Atwaters are about impossible to find any parts for, there are some ign. parts availibe through WICO they built most of the mags. and a few parts availible for the carbs, don't throw your money away---Bob
