Re: 1948 evinrude 3.3 sportwin specs/help

[Buccaneer]

Bob, I received my 3.3 Sportwin as a basket of parts with the pistons out.
After many queries, study of literature, etc., I installed the pistons, but
still didn’t feel 100% certain there were in correct. The longest I ever got
it to run was about 30 seconds, then went downhill from there.
I then queried different owners to see if their piston’s 90 deg. step
was on the port or starboard side as they looked in, or probed in the
spark plug hole. Of course I got two different answers! Galerider was
recently the "third", and deciding vote. "Steep step" on the port side.
So if yours isn’t the same, one of us still has problems, ha, ha.
I determined from Galerider that my pistons are in correct.
Think I’ll re-visit the low speed adjustment on the carb and make sure the
air shutter is in the correct position for starting.
Good Luck, Buccaneer

Prepare to be boarded!
