Until this year I have had only one issue with finding 10hps with bad wristpins. This year I bought one with known bad wristpins, and ended up with a few more that were more worn than I really care for. Gong against what is typically seen in the OMC 10hps, I got a 1957 Evinrude Sportwin this year still with the original cracked coils in it with quite a bit of wristpin slop. The motor isn’t that good cosmetically either. When I opened the magneto I was pleased to find original coils, then I checked the wristpins and was rather disappointed when I found them to be pretty sloppy. Probably between 1/16″ and 3/32″ of piston movement on the clunk test. It’s OK though, the motor is still worth what I gave for it in good parts.
