Re: 1973 Evinrude Mate 2HP Issues

I’m going to go out on a limb and say I would be giving up on that cylinder. There have been a few cylinders I have seen that were that bad, that I, too, tried to dream back to life, but it never ends well. Even if you can get it to start, it will be hard to start and be anemic in power. In my humble opinion, that block is just toast. It happens and it’s never fun. By the way, you had the piston in right before but now it’s backwards…

Long live American manufacturing!
