I find Cal-Jet outboards up to 1965. This look a lot spiffier than
mine. Guessing mine would be in the late 50’s, early 60’s.

Thanks Tubs! I searched for an hour last night looking for that decal!
Where did you find it?

The text in the lower right of the decal says “Beverly Hills California”.
Can’t make out what it says in the lower left.
Maybe “Jed Clampett”?

Tubs, thanks again. There was a tiny bit of the operating instructions left on
mine (before I sand blasted it) .

I found these Tecumseh / Power Product specs on the net.
Closest I could measure the stroke on my motor, makes it
an AV-51.
Have not found a parts manual yet. Seems to have good compression, etc.,
so I’m just going to see if it runs soon. A Motor’s manual does show it has
some kind of upper and lower crank seals though. Not sure if they’re
available. Will know if I can find the part numbers.

Wonder if the Cal-Jet 4400 got it’s model number from the RPM’s
the 4 hp engine is rated at?

I finished putting the Cal-Jet together today and fired it up.
I put a new carb kit (with diaphragm, etc.) in it, but it probably
needs crankshaft seals. It’s running lean on the idle circuit.
I should attempt to put some decals on it if I can find or
make some, then put it on the rack for the next 20 years!
