Wizard 7.5 hp

[ke4rocket]

I was just given a old Wizard 7.5 horsepower motor and don't know a thing about it so i was hoping to get a few answers from this great forum.
The motor has a Tecumseh motor and a clutch.
I need to know if this is air cooled or water cooled and where I can get a prop for it.
Being it is a tecumseh motor I figure I should be able to get motor parts through a lawnmower place?
It started right up in the barrel but I would like to rebuild the carb just for ships and giggles.
One more thign I noticed that you can either use the self contained tank or hook it up to a remote tank.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Your motor is built by Eska.Diffucult to date without a model number.Powerhead is air cooled and the leg is water cooled.Motors after 67 have a water pump.Older motors water is circulated by the prop wash.If it is working right water should mist out of the relief holes on the leg.Some parts may be available
at a small engine shop.
In my opinion these motor aren't worth investing too much money.Noisy.they vibrate,poor performers not particularly reliable.The E/J 5,5 5 and 7.5 are a much better bet.Smoother,quieter,and will out perform the Eska.Parts are readily available back to the early 50s.

Actually the water is sprayed on the bottom cylinder. I have a Golden Jet (same thing). There good little motors. Also it will only mist out the back holes in gear. Have a couple others I will part out over winter, and parts to ebay....so keep an eye out. Parts also at ..
