Re: Other old motors – should I?

Those 1948-51 Sportwins are an interesting motor. The Evinrude went to a lot of trouble with the carb design, and it has twin rubber impellers. They had tools stashed all over 🙂 the tiller handle has a screwdriver in it and under the lower shroud there’s a wrench and a selection of shear pins and cotter keys. New parts are pretty scarce but there are lots of donors around and if you aren’t in a hurry you can usually find the parts you need. One weakness is the upper bearing in the lower unit is a ball bearing and they rust.
