In Ontario, all outboards are in fresh water!
I’m so jealous.
Out here on the West Coast, the minimum tools needed to help bring a salt experienced motor back to life will be a set of torches, a big hammer, an impact wrench or two, a well stocked shop fridge, and some Ativan to help out for those especially tough ones! And I don’t even drink!
I have never seen any thing like this. I have picked up some old outboard sitting out side the snow in winter time behind the barn for a couple years and I did not see this worst condition. This is the worst one!
Hello,
Just got it picked up yesterday. It is 1961 model. It has a weak spark on both cylinders so the magneto ignition needs to look at. Compression test shows 92/91 psi on the dry cylinder. Hopefully the compression will raise when the cylinder got wet.
Frankf, could you comment on the “18 hp semi-weedless prop looks just like a 10 hp, until you examine it closer.” I attached the pictures, Is the prop original for 18 hp?
