What a beautiful rig!  That Evinrude looks great on the transom for sure.

Absolutely outstanding boat/motor combo!   Definitely keep the Evinrude!

Phil,  if worried about spewing  oil  in the water you can always  look up  some posts on here  on diverting the purge valve residue   over to a holding  tank. You can remix  the crankcase  juices back in the fuel tank   . The only oil  and fuel to reach  the lake will be  from a   small % of  new fuel/oil bypassing  on the cyl up stroke.

 

 

ok back to the beauty….rig…beauty is more important than speed at an older age 🙂

Yes, The guys have figured a way to make an unburned oil can in the back to make it a cleaner running motor. Personally I would no use it again though. Looking forward to more progress pictures!!

Read post on Oil & envirement. Great educational data!

I would not replace the motor unless you have a need to operate where 2 stroke engines are no longer tolerated.

What’s the problem with synchronization of spark and throttle?  This is generally a pretty simple matter.  Some big twins have a more complicated linkage that could take a bit of effort to figure out, but I doubt yours has that additional complexity.  People here will know.

to service your oldy you can try downloading the Johnson bible   and print it locally double sided.  not Evinrude but they are cousins 🙂  (same  father)

Thank you, amuller.  The synchronization process that I have tried is in the attachment.  Does it seem correct to you?

 

What baffels me the most is the fact that loosening the two bolts for the throttle cam does not let it move at all.

Kind of hard to follow with no pictures.  I’m wondering if this engine uses the “economizer linkage”?  If so, I was guessing that it might not be set right causing a lack of power due to only partial opening of the carburetor butterfly at WOT.

Charles:  feel free to post a picture of the left side of the powerhead with the engine cover off, then we can see if it has this linkage…  D
