Reply To: EVINRUDE ELTO LIGHT FOUR

Thank you all for responding. Dad’s motor looks more like the last picture except the shaft appears longer, the prop is 3 bladed and the small knob on the end of the tiller handle is black (BTW – I like the walker converted to an outboard stand). I will take some pictures and upload today. I found some information online that states this motor is a Lightfour HD, Long Shaft, Air Borne Reverse. What does that mean? I don’t think this motor even has a reverse. I saw that some of these motors have the circular handle that was probably used to spin the motor for reverse direction. This motor does not have that. I remember Dad saying that this motor was never started, that it was basically a new motor. After sitting in the barn all these years, it does not look new. But, the inside of the gas tank and the spark tip of the spark plugs do look brand new. I don’t think I am interested in starting the motor if it has never been started. But, I do think I would like to get restored. Any ideas?
