Very interesting as this tank has the 1953-55 decal scheme on it so it must have been an early design with very limited production. Thanks for posting!

The antique boat show a week ago had a virtual auction and there were 4 of these outboards in it ,one other guy bought one and my brother And I bought the other 3 plus a power head for 20.00 bucks each ,there was no interest in them.the gauges were made in Rochester ny that’s what Peeked our interest.mike mcewem

Hi. I think I have a 57 or 58 Fastwin from my neighbor. He wanted it out of his cabin so I thought I’d put it in my cabin garage but wife said no. I’m looking to sell it. Not get rich but would like to see it go to a good home. Ballpark how much is it worth ? No tank and doesn’t run.

Hope you don't mind me saying,, but you stand a better chance of eliminating ~water-pump damage~ if you always fill the water up to cover at least half of the lower steering brackets!!!! This way you don't have to worry when you drop it into forward gear and splash water out from the bucket!!! Cheers!!! Enjoyed watching!!!!

I had a '26 "Doctor's Coupe". PLEASE!! Raise your thumb up so that it is on the same side of the crank handle as your index finger knuckle. If the engine backfires, the crank actually turns backwards, and you could break your thumb, or arm. A friend and his brother tried to start a model T when they were both about 12 or so. My friend was cranking the engine, and his brother operated the controls. His brother tried advancing the spark, the engine backfired, and it threw my friend over a fence also breaking his arm.

I don't understand why everyone thinks these motors are ugly? They look modern, and are 50+ years old!! They're bulletproof, as well!! Evinrude might still be in business if they kept making them like the 9.5!

I agree, I would use the word "unique" These are great motors. Just that most people that own them don't really care or know how to maintain them. I have a beautiful 73' model in show room condition. Last of its kind before they changed it to 9.9hp. Love these motors. Cheers!

Boy o boy, seems like that is exactly what that little tank is for...To measure an exact quart..I agree, to well done for some home made device, is probably some sort of engineering prototype...And yes, they never would have produced it with the screws in the bottom, seems like this idea never made it into production... I dunno, seems like alot of engineering work and cost, didn't the outboard oil come in quart containers back then? Why provide a tank to measure a quart when the oil came in quart containers? Still very cool though...

@1957Lark 4 жыл бұрын
Motors like this are quite common and more of a hobby than money maker. In the running condition of my motor...I would guess $50 to $200...depending on who is selling and where being sold. I got this motor for $75. The motor only needed the points cleaned up to get going.

I know this video is a few years old but where do you position your speed dials
@1957Lark 4 жыл бұрын
The following was taken from Joe Reeves on iBoats: Initial settings are: Bottom high speed = seat gently, then open 1 turn out. Top slow speed = seat gently, then open 1-1/2 turns. Setting the high and low needle valves properly: NOTE: For engines that DO NOT have a shift selection, obviously there is no NEUTRAL position. Simply lower the rpms to the lowest setting to obtain the low speed needle valve adjustment. (High Speed) Start engine (it will run pretty rough), shift into forward gear, take up to full throttle. In segments of 1/8 turn, waiting for the engine to respond between turns, start turning in the bottom high speed needle valve. You'll reach a point whereas the engine will either start to die out or spit back (sounds like a mild backfire). At that point, back out the needle valve 1/4 turn. Within that 1/4 turn, you'll find the smoothest setting. (Low Speed) Slow the engine down to where it just stays running. Shift into neutral. Again in segments of 1/8 turns, start to turn the top needle valve in. Wait a few seconds for the engine to respond. As you turn the valve in, the rpms will increase. Lower the rpms again to where the engine will just stay running. Eventually you'll hit the point where the engine wants to die out or it will spit back. Again, at that point, back out the valve 1/4 turn. Within that 1/4 turn, you'll find the smoothest slow speed setting.

It may be ugly to some but its one of the better kickers Johnson/ Evinrude ever made. I have one I got new for Christmas in 67. Always called it a pancake motor Used it yesterday. Use clean fresh gas, burn the fuel out of carb if its going to sit up. It will run forever. Also have a 47 3hp Johnson my game warden uncle sold me for $25 later on. Has the weedless foot and prop. I have the original service and sales manuel that came with it. Runs like a top too
@mikedurhan9941 5 жыл бұрын
You keep running a 7.5 at WOT and you are going to sling a rod through the side of the motor. This is because they had a large enough stroke that the babbitt bearings would not hold up. A 5.5 would also sling a rod, but not near as quickly as the 7.5 motors because the 5.5 had a smaller stroke - thus putting less pressure on the rod bearings. I love these motors, but they are not the most reliable.Now, you get a 1967+/- 6-hp power motor with needle rod bearings and you have got yourself one tough little OMC motor. It will stay with you until the cows come home...…..

@1957Lark 5 жыл бұрын
...the coils are readily available... part number 0584477 Search eBay or list a free post on the Antique Outboard Motor Club Inc...there are lots of guys that have some. AOMCI.org Do your part searching on MarineEngines.com to get part numbers for every part to keep you motor up and running. Remember, Johnson and Evinrude motor of that era are exactly the same...minus some cosmetic shrouds...So the part numbers for a 1958 18HP Johnson and a 1958 18HP Evinrude are the same. Happy Motoring

Hey 1957 Lark hope all is well. i just scored on this exact motor almost in identical condition, i purchased it from an elderly gentleman that had i stored in his garage for the last 25 years or so, well i just replaced lower unit gear seal and water pump kit, carb kit and i'm waiting for a tune up kit it's Tune Up Kit 2 BRP Coils and 2 Spark Plugs J6C, and i'm also replacing the spark plug wires, parts should be arriving tomorrow, i have a question after installing the new ignition parts aside from gaping the points do i need to worry about the timing? would it affect the timing? or is just a straight up remove and replace old parts . Your input is appreciated. Thanks!!
@1957Lark 5 жыл бұрын
Hi...you probably figured this out by now, but the timing is set by correctly gapping the points. I hope you motor is running.
