Earlier this summer I purchased an old 1956 10 HP Evinrude model 10012. The fellow said it was running but could not get the tank to pump (older 2 line tank). I saw the problem right away that the line was rotten. Seller wanted $100 he took $80.
The motor was in exceptionally good shape as far as looking. I took the carb off and cleaned it and tested it in a barrel to see if it pumped water, which it did. Put it on a boat ran fine for about 5 min and then ran on only 1 cylinder. New plugs still only 1 cylinder. I now have purchased 2 new coils and 2 sets of points and condensors. Yet to put these on.
Earlier this week I put an ad on Kijiji (similar to Craigslist) for any old 1956 or 57 Evinrude or Johnson for future parts etc. Got a call from a fellow 300 miles away saying he had an 10 HP Evinrude (he thought about that age) that he wanted to get rid of. He said he was driving to my city today to visit and he would drop it off at my door for nothing.
Well it just arrived 1956 Evinrude model 10012. All intact except for the gas tank. Color little more faded than mine but looks in as good shape.
