Re: Evinrude Model A? RBM – Help needed.

Thanks to you both Richard & Kees,

I believe there is an excel spreadsheet out there somewhere that contains detail (parts, casting numbers etc) on year by year basis. Might try shooting Brook Newcombe a pm to see if he’s aware of that and how I might get a copy. I’m sure it will give many answers.

It’s interesting that both of you have suggested going Model B. All the research I’ve done thus far (on line and verbal) indicates 1914 or earlier Model A, with a tank and flywheel swap at some stage. I would prefer to stay with Model A, as I think the reversing gear-foot speaks volumes for the technology that existed back in the day …. even if it wasn’t all that reliable.

All part of the fun I guess.

PS: Kees, it’s good to know you’re on SOS also. As stated above didn’t want to skew peoples thinking by posting as purchased photos. Not sure if that was the best idea so will see how this attempt goes and may reconsider later. Happy to share my photobucket if it helps.
