Stumbled across iBoats, and that made me want to fix up/learn about/get working at all, our old 5.5h.p. Evinrude Fisherman.<br /><br />I have no idea what year it is, so that seemed like a good place to start. The serial is 5520-11971. I though the ending numbers might indicate that it was a 1971 model...but maybe not.<br /><br />I can post pix if necessary.<br /><br />Basically I want to get this motor runnin tip top again...mainly so that I can work on a motor an learn a thing or two, and also because I have some time on my hands and this seemed like a cool project.<br /><br />What I can remember from the last time we used it:<br /><br /> -Doesn't like to go from slow to fast speeds...there's some hesitation<br /> -Seems to love to spit gas into the lake<br /> -Don't really know any factory specs on it...just the stuff that my dad remembers...it would be cool to know exactly how much oil to add to the gas, and all that jazz..<br /><br /> I'm looking to tune/rebuild the motor and learn about all that entails.<br /><br /> Thanks,<br /> Matt
