Re: 1967 Evinrude Angler 5hp
Hi Ducker,<br /> The Angler was kind of a ******* child. Evinrude made a budget model of the 6hp by mating the 6hp powerhead with the 4hp direct drive lower unit and called it a 5hp. They detuned the 6hp powerhead by closing up the reed stops a bit so that it limited the fuel flow a little. The book says to run it at a 50:1 mix, but it has bronze bushings at several spots in the powerhead, so richening it up a bit to 40:1 wouldn't hurt a thing.<br /> Many of the consumable parts, such as coils, points, condensers, carb kits, fuel pumps, waterpump impellers, etc. are still readily available through dealers and aftermarket suppliers.<br /> Not a bad little motor, but the throttle isn't very convenient...<br />- Scott
