I love your motor 🙂

Edit : they are vinyl, not water decals.
I ordered some for a 1946 Viking and was happy with them.

If it’s model number 4412, it is a year 1946 motor.

check the tank, you may have a copper-top motor there. Evinrude built some of these with a heavy-walled copper tank that is virtually bullet-proof. if you have zero dings in a 70 year old tank, I’d say either that motor has been very lucky, or the tank is copper and not pressed aluminum.

Chips in the paint without corresponding dents or dings might be one clue.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Thanks guys. I had a closer look and there are 2 few very slight dings in the tank. I did not try to expose any material beneath the paint but it looks like some white oxidation in a few places indicating aluminum corrosion, so very doubtful it is copper. I may just clean it up the best I can without damaging the decals and leave it. Looks like I can get decals for it.

I guess the tank must be from a "41 then. Could be a parts motor for all I know

I know a lot of suggest using nuts and bolts to help loosen up the crud in a fuel tank. But I find it hard to get them all out especially if there is a bit of a lip on the inside of the fill cap. I prefer to use a small length of small chain. Think dog collar size. Then just one item in tank and one item to remove

I like screws to clean inside a tank.
Of course, it’s a bit difficult to get them out, but we only have to do it once.

My lazy way instead of shaking by hand 🙂

Hey Garry, does this one have the delicate filter meshes in it? I know my 1949 sportster does. They should be removed BEFORE you put and "hardware" into the tank!! These are fine metal mesh filters in the gas line. One might be right inside where the gas line leaves the tank. Very delicate. And easily cleaned if you know where to look. Mine was very dirty. The other one on my Evinrude Sportster is at the bottom of the carb bowl. Hope this helps.

There is no filter in the tank. There IS a 1000 mesh filter 121180 in the bottom of the carburetor. It will stop water when coated with the oil in the fuel. . . 😉

Make sure to filter the gas going into the tank or crud will plug up the petcock and strand you on the lake! Ask me how I know! Later built in tanks had a filter. Guess they learned something from this original design. Unfortunately, the filter used in the 1950’s 3hp motors will not fit the 1940’s motors – too big.
