Just got 2 ob motors both Evinrudes. 1 is a 100hp, 1971 and the other is a 1969, 115. The 115 has been in storage for 4 years. What should I do before I even try to start it? Where can I down load some free manuals for both. The 115 ran 4 years ago and looks to be in great shape! The 100hp will run and shut off in a mater of minutes. Note sombody did some wiring mods. recently. They may have burned up a part located under the big gear like thing on the 100hp motor. I need to see what is missing on this motor. I think the coil was taken off along with the black box on the prop side of the motor, it looks like they used a jaguar box in that location. Both motors were free to some extent. I plan on using one of these on a Procraft Bass boat. My non- fishing boat is a 35' Formula crusier with a 1000hp I/O. These little OBs are new to me, more of a test to see if I can get them in shape. So where do I start? Open to all advice, free sites etc.
