      I have been mechanically restoring a 1940 Evinrude Sportwin 3.3 model 4355. I have it cleaned up and running, however the throttle wont stay in positon, as soon as I let go it returns to the off position. I can’t figure out how to tighten up the throttle level. Any advice on making this adjustment?

        It sounds and looks good especially being over sixty yrs old!
        I LOVE the test tank ❗ ❗ ❗

          Take off the front cover and look under the magneto base plate. You will see under there, close to the top bearing, a screw that adjusts the friction. Of course if some one has replaced a coil and not aligned it properly, the flywheel can rub on the coil pole shoes. That will make the base plate impossible to keep from moving. . . . . . 😉

            Yep what Garry said. I have a 4355 that is a great little runner. I still need to track down one of those recoil starters though if anyone has a lead on one let me know!
