Re: 1939 Evinrude 9.7 lightfour

They made those motors almost up to 1950. You should be able to locate one in better condition by posting in our classifieds. Doug Penn is another good source. I have seen quite a few of these as parts motors at meets for a good price. JB weld probably would not hold up for very long as that piece hangs out there waiting to be broken off again. Welding or brazing with those alumniweld rods may work, then use JB as a filler. Have fun with your motor, they run pretty good when set up right.
