Well bottom line is i am still looking for a 40 hp short shaft that is in good running condition. I have a budget of $600 or trade my running one day and not the next 1968 40 hp short shaft evinrude plus cash. Has a rebuilt carb and fuel pump, new fuel lines and is actually a good looking motor. But id rather it not look so good and run properly! I know if someone knew what they were doing it would probably be a good runner. Has 120 comp. on both heads, good spark, i think i put fuel pump back together wrong. I had it running today and could full throttle it but no low idle and seem to misfire. Fowling out the plugs. Me and my buddy have just completed a restore on a 13 foot 1966 whaler with full conversion to a bass boat, complete with bow and stern carpeted decks and 40 thrust power glide minn kota bow mount troller. Looks so nice but no motor! We dont know much about motors so we want a ready to go motor. Location is Michigan. HELP WE WANNA GO FISHING!!!
