Re: 1965 evinrude lightwin folder overheating

[davesko]

Thanks fleetwin, yes replaced entire assembly, no idea if it overheated before because I changed it as part of my full redo after getting it from my grandpa. He said it never overheated before but that was 30 years ago. It does pump water when it is submerged below the folder but near as much as the other light wins I have. It was fresh water only. But was stored folded in the case for 30 years in an attic. I’m going to change the water tube grommets and see what I get. I will get temp readings and compare them to my other ones but I have a feeling something got up the tube while stored. I really look forward to using it, my pap said he ran it maybe two times since new. He also had the outboard disease and passed it on to me! Lol Thanks,Dave
