    does your insurance company have to pay you?

    scored a somewhat rare motor

    1958 18 hp Fasttwin. The motor itself is not rare there are a million of them out there, but this one has a factory fuel pump and set up for single line. It was an option back then and apparently this one had the option when it was new. Pics to come.

    splicing plug wire

    got this 49 Evinrude that take the 6mm wires as the wires coil under the mag plate. The wires that were on it were okay, but too short and someone had spliced them with lamp cord of all things.

    question on vent

    1949 Evinrude 3.3 Sportwin. The gas tank has the original cap which to me does not appear to be vented. There is a vent tube on the port side of the motor. It is connected to a metal line at the tank and to a nipple on the carb. The carb has a mechanism where you turn the high speed mixture and...

    explain this igniton

    this late 40's 3.3 evinrude took it apart and cleaned the points, Must not have them back together right as they short to ground, but that is not my question. The question is there is a kill switch on it that when in very low speed is activated and grounds the points killing the motor. But both...
