    Forward gear bracket retaining dowel 10hp 1961

    So apparently a previous owner failed to align the bracket and pushed the pin in almost completely. I’m trying to figure out wether to drill another hole next to it and put a new pin. I have bad experience with drilling out small stuff, so the old pin can stay. But, I’m not sure about the right...

    1961 10hp water tube upper grommet

    me again... while having the lower off, the water tube looks kinda funky twisted, and peeking up the leg the upper grommet looks worn and might need a replacement. The tube is still in the upper grommet. How big of a deal this is to replace that upper grommet? Does the powerhead needs to come...

    Fuel pump - 10hp 1961

    While I’m waiting on the carb kit - is my fuel pump original (=not serviceable)? Is there a screen under there I can clean at least? Also, is there a way to check if the diaphragm is intact without taking the thing apart? Pic attached. Thanks

    Have air silencer? Beware of wasps.

    Was cleaning up my 1961 10 HP and peaked into one of the air silencer holes using a flashlight. Saw something weird and took the silencer apart. A bunch of old mud dauber nests! All the crumbling dirt getting into the carb might not be ideal...

    Need help identifying gear (?) oil leak - 10 HP 1961

    I recently got a 1961 10 HP Sportwin - this thing is great. It's been idle for a few years, so I replaced the impeller, drained the gear lube, got new plugs and tank tested. But, after another longer tank test today, I noticed greenish oil floating in the tank. Upon further inspection, I found...

    Choke on 1961 10 HP Evinrude

    Hello everyone, I have recently got an old jon boat with a 1961 10 HP Sportwin motor. This is my first boat and outboard, so I'm pretty excited working on this thing and getting it into shape. The motor is in pretty good condition, but hasn't been run for a few years. I changed the gear lube...
