Reply To: How to : Evinrude Speeditwin ..

Sam,
Welcome to the club and this forum where you will lots of folks willing to lend their advice and knowledge. First, I’ll offer up my congrats on a great looking boat and motor combination!

I don’t have any experience with the Speeditwin but there are lots of members here that do. But seems to me first step would be to verify the cylinder compression and whether or not you have ignition spark. I would certainly check the fuel tank and lines for dirt or gummed up old fuel which would need to be addressed before you attempt to start/run the motor.

I’m sure the Speeditwin experts will chime in.
