old outbord motor ID

[amacowboy]

I have figured out that at I am not capable of posting a pic of this motor. I believe it is a pre 1949 model or I was told that. It has a pull rope that you put on by hand (no recoil tension) each time you pull rope. It has one spark plug and you has to mis gas and oil in tank. I was told that the right person could take the number stamped on it and could figure out the make, model, and horse power rating. My guess is that it is between a 2 and 4 or 5 horse motor but I am in no way qualified to be guessing at anything on this deal. I do know that it is a clean motor and I had very little trouble getting it started after trading for it a while back. I have full intensions of selling it once I kinda figure out what it is. Any assistance with this matter would greatly be apprciated. Thanks Mitch

My numbers list shows a 463 as a 1940 Viking 1.8 hp. Never seen one. Can you post a pix?

I will give it another try a little later, I am on my way to the ranch to check cattle wind mills etc. I reecently aquired a digital camera but would likely take me all morning to figure it out. Thank you for taking the time to look that up for me. I will get on the pic thing when I get back from the ranch! Have a great day, Mitch
