1968 Evinrude

I restored a old Evinrude 1.5 hp out board motor with the help of my shop. Today we started it and it runs sweet. Anyone else have a old out board.

I have what I think is a late 50's 45hp Johnson which along with the 59 Glasspar Del Mar will need to be restored. Just another one of my projects. Have another project coming this afternoon sometime. :? Retirement is just great, never a lack of projects. :thinking:

I've got a 1948 Mod. 483 7 1/2hp Scott-Atwater that I restored several years ago. I think I've got pics around somewhere, can't find 'em now but I'll keep looking. haven't run it in a couple years. This thread has me wondering if it would start on the third pull like it always has!

Well now I see why you're the way you are. You're just an old junkyard dog. Man I thought we had some pack rats in Rosamond... :lol:
I know its the photographer, and not the camera. I'll keep shooting with a Pentax. Just in case.
