    Wiring harness suggestions '74 70 HP

    I have been tracking down some electrical/ignition issues on my 1974 Evinrude 70 HP. One mechanic said he believed that I had a short between the motor and the remote control. The harness had lots of places where electrical tape was used for repairs. So this looked suspect. I pulled the tape...

    1974 70 HP Evinrude Carbs

    Had a bit of motor trouble at the end of the season. Seemed like the carbs or a carb was flooding. Good idle but when I put it in gear and tried to throttle up, it was bogging down. If I kept forcing it, it eventually "cleared" and would speed up and get on plane. This happened at times, and...

    1974 MFG Super Gypsy

    Hello All, Have a 16 foot Super Gypsy that I have had since 1993. Floor rotted and so did the stringers/ribs. Too much work for me to take on so I am going to let it go. Not even considering placing on Craigs List. Have had it garaged (fortunate to have an extra garage) and now need the...

    1974 Resto Question

    I have a restoration thread going in the Resto Forum on my 1974 16 Foot SS. Some of you are familiar with the slider doors for under the splashwell. I redid the rotten wood and covered with vinyl. Question is whether or not to paint the "grid". Unpainted is original but would like to see and...
