The Sportsman is one of my favorite small motors. The first one I acquired, was a 1937 model. The bottom of the cylinder jug was broke out from rust and freezing, but it still ran like a clock. Bill Siebel (chapter president of the Puget Sounders) sold me a brand new cylinder jug. I found a new set of rings at Engine Blade & Prop. Then a good running motor ran even better. I currently have a ’48 model that runs good plus I have a little ELTO .9 hp that is basically the same design as my ’37 Sportsman. That was about the best design of small outboards that Evinrude ever built. Very simple to operate too. That carb is a great design and very simple.
