I picked up a mystery fastwin today. That is likely between 1961 and 1963 based on the cowling and choke knobs... I'm really thinking it's a 62. There is no serial number on the frame where they typically are or even on the expansion plug between cylinders.
It needs a tiller handle with gear, I...
Well just so everyone is aware, I had the trim set too high. I got with a family member and we adjusted the trim and took it out. It ran like a bat out of hell and no issues. Thanks for everyone's help, I couldn't be more pleased. I started this project 3 months ago with a dead motor that...
Just to be clear, is there anything anyone can think of that could be going on in the gearcase or anywhere else that might cause the hub to spin more frequently. It has only happened when I am running nearly full throttle but it has happened twice, both within the first 0.25- 0.5 miles in the...
I meant that it bogs down in speed, the sound of the engine revs super high and the speed drops off simultaneously. When I let off the throttle all the way and then rev back up slowly, it runs again but there is an obvious lack of power afterward. Then I'm basically limping it along the rest of...
That is very interesting and helpful. I'm going to try to file or machine this new one down just enough to fit back far enough on the key and spin freely, then see how it does. I kind of wondered if there was a break in, this is just something I don't know anything about. There are no...
I have not taken apart the gearcase, can you elaborate on what I would be looking for regarding the clutch dog? How would it be causing this just so I understand the problem. I have re-sealed the lower unit in my 1958 18hp so I at least understand how to take apart and put back together.
The...
I'm sure there is an obvious answer to this that will embarrass me but this is my first project outboard. I have a 1969 evinrude fastwin and I have spun 2 hub when revving up to top it out. It ran great at half throttle but when revved up, I lost power, boat bogged down and I was only able to...
Thanks everyone, I know that they changed from 24:1 to 50:1 and 1964 on the oil to gas mix but after looking pretty hard I am only able to see that as the main difference. Going to go look at her today and see if I can add it to the collection. I love the help here.

Hey everyone, I found a good deal on an electric start 1962 18 hp Evinrude in my area. My question is, is flywheel able to be removed from the 1962 and used as an electric start on the 1969? Also, are the lower units interchangeable?
The guy says that he does not have the wiring harness for the...
