Re: 1957 Evinrude 18HP will not start

[Bob Wight]

Reminds me of when I rebuilt my 25hp Evinrude powerhead and ordered new rod bearings. When the order arrived I counted the needle bearings in each package and found one package contained one too many bearings. If I hadn’t counted beforehand, I surely would have found the extra one laying on the workbench after completing the assembly and been forced to tear the whole thing open again. A real hassle after taking so much care in realigning the rod caps.
