    Thank you for your continuing help.

    I agree about the pictures.  I tried making still photos, but just can’t get good images.  I don’t have a smartphone, so I will enlist the help of my son to make some movies when he is next in town.  Also, my wife and I are about to be away during the Thanksgiving period, so it likely will be some time after that when I can get the movies made.  Stand by.

    Unfortunately, most shops today don’t want to touch Evinrudes.  Everything today is 4 stroke and the shops are not interested in touching vintage machines of any type.  Their reason is always the same: “We don’t want to get into it and find that it needs some unavailable parts.”  I would like to find someone to whom I can take the motor within about 200 miles from Richmond VA  – someone who really knows this motor.  I will call the presidents of the Carolinas chapter and the Chesapeake chapter to see if they know of anyone.

    Again, stand by.  I appreciate all your help.
