A long time friend brought me a 1966 Evinrude 9.5hp to look over and to see if I could get running for him. I can't do it.
The 1st thing I did was pull the plugs and do a spark test which was fine. Then a compression test with no joy. 70 on the top and 0 on the bottom. Piston not moving up and down. Too bad really as this old motor looks pretty clean as if someone has just worked on it. Carb looks great, even looks like they put new coils and wire into it.
So I'm pretty familiar with the 20hp, 35hp and the 50hp stuff but haven't a clue as to what anything is worth on these 9.5hp engines. Anyone have a suggestion on what this could be fairly worth as a parts engine? $100.00? $50.00? I know it has to have some value I just don't know what that is.
