update with pics
Compression was mid 30s 🙁 (on both) but a few shots of Wd40 boosted things up to 60 psi and hopefully a good run should bring them up higher after some decarb. Won’t be any worse than my 9.5hp 9622a at 65psi which runs fine. Scoped the walls and they are not scored or anything some wear . The cam seems worn down (313676) but at 70U$ I’ll try to touch it up and realign it to meet the cam follower on the START mark.
Pulled the FW …found it loose so somebody looked in before me but….found nice cracked coils mag plate was clean so this kicker was likely dormant for years . Nice keel , prop needs a touch up but still useable. GC to be pressure tested, Shift handle was broken and replaced like a lot of these kickers transported & resting on the shift handle 🙁
engine turns over fine and shifts ok
a good mag rebuild (I may try my ceramic condensers) , timing, impeller , plug wires & boots and carb clean should wake it up. Paint refresh on cowl and where needed and done ! This will keep me busy while the grass wakes up. 🙂
see pics 1960s Evinrude 6hp exact mdl unknown (btw tested condensers on Mr.Mohat’s box both passed the test perfect . Points look new 🙂
needs a good clean and new thermostat)
coils ….
