new to me motor, clueless on age

[LittleBill]

hello found a motor in our basment hasn't run in prolly 25 years, but i succesfully got it running today was kind of shocked

anyway its an evinrude serial 7512-64641 has a tillotson carb on it, thats about all i can identify, from doing some reading it appears to be between 50-54, my question is parts??? manual??? and fuel ratio

Thanks for all the help, it ran like a beast

7513 makes it a 1953 7.5hp.

Fuel mix will be 24:1 using a TCW-3 spec oil

lower unit oil, 80-90 wt outboard lower unit oil. has additive incase of water intrusion, outboardboats,com, list 7512 as a 1953, i believe before 1955, was 16:1 fuel oil ratio. manuals:

7512 and 7513 are both 1953. I suspect 7513 is long shaft, but not positive about that.
The Evinrude service manual says 16:1 on the mix for that one. Unofficially, I think there was a problem with one of the rods getting enough oil.

While you can buy parts online from a variety of marinas that specialize in old outboards and ebay, in my opinion your best bet is to visit the antique outboard motor club - AOMCI.org. They have a free classified area, and there are tons of people who know gobs of stuff about your classic outboard.

good luck and have fun, OMC motors from the 50's are easy to work on and part are pretty easy to come by.

Re: new to me motor, clueless on age

do you have another link for parts very very few parts for the 53 on that site

Re: new to me motor, clueless on age

I think you are going to be very hard pressed to find parts for that motor in general! A '53 has got a few years behind it and if you are having trouble finding parts for it, you are probably going to have to find a similar '53 motor to canabalize!

Re: new to me motor, clueless on age

As said, www.aomci,org Be specific, exactly what do you need? Best favor you can do yourself is get a parts book. You would be surprised, some parts are still available from Evinrude. But dealers won't give you the time of day unless you come in armed with the part number. Then all they have to do is collect your money and order the part that you asked for.
