Re: 1956 15 hp Evinrude Model 15016

[Buccaneer]

Update – It was a beautiful, sunny 74 degree day in Minnesota.
That’s awesome seeing how it’s October, so I decided to try
out the subject motor again now that the sintered filter was
cleaned in Jeff’s magic potion.
I’m happy to report that the outboard ran full bore now with no problems!!!
Not sure if the rings on the upper cylinder have fully unstuck yet
(will recheck compression now that it’s been on the lake a couple of times),
but I got 18.4 mph on the GPS with about 330 pounds of human (son and I)
and a little gear aboard, running it on my light 14′ Alumacraft.
Not complaining, but should I expect any better than that with this motor?
Thanks.

Prepare to be boarded!
