There is an expensive motor-side fuel connector that was an oddball size only used by 3.9 to 9.8 hp between early ’60s and early ’70s.
I inherited a little bit newer 110 — 1970 — that my grandfather bought the year I was born and used very sparingly and babied while stored. Technically my first classic outboard, I suppose. Lots of sentimental value in that one. It pushed a 14 ft aluminum boat great. It was considerably faster with the same load than a 1991 Johnson 9.9 that I also used on that boat. Because it has so few hours on it, I have no idea what it’s weakest aspects are, though. Writing that makes me realise that I need to pull that one out of storage for a spin on the lake again.
