Reply To: 3 hp Evinrude question (’50s to 60s)

[overland]

Thanks for all the suggestions. Can anyone give me advice on which of several choices I have? There a number of 3hp Evinrudes in my area, late 50s and early 60s, in different conditions. A couple have no gas in the tank but have been well used. The best wasn’t emptied and has sat for 7 years, but wasn’t used much before that. I assume I’ll have to tune up the carborator and maybe replace the coils and / or the plugs. But maybe not. I’d like to settle on one and then go look at it to make sure, as has been posted here, the motor turns and the gearing is okay.
