Good day all,
I recently purchased a 1981 Evinrude 4.5hp w/integrated fuel tank (E5RCIC).
I went to put it on my stand to check it out and I noticed that it's in it's tilt lock position.
This is my first 4.5 and I've read that the tilt lock knobs are often broken... Well, this one is broken.
I cannot turn it with my hands and without knowing exactly how it works, I didn't want to take something to it to try and turn it and risk doing additional damage.
So, I thought I would check here first for any recommendations/information on how it works, before I potentially go and make it worse for myself.
Thanks in advance!
