Re: Evinrude Model A? RBM – Help needed.

So which 1914 model will you have???

“A” ??????

or

“B” ?????

Richard,
I have recently talked to Spiro and his main focus is to try and figure out if this RBM is more likely to be a model A or B originally; he is more than happy to purchase the correct parts either way to make the motor correct for whichever model it turns out to be.

It seems that the brass unplated flywheel and the design of the lettering on the flywheel may provide a clue – also maybe the type of carburetor and number of rings on the piston?

So far, we know that either –
a) It is a model A motor with a model B fuel tank
b) it is a model B with the wrong gearbox…

Was there an option of purchasing a Model A RBM with or without a flywheel magneto? And the same for a model B?

Cheers
