I recently came into possession of subject motor. There is a serial number sticker from OMC "G03131073". The sticker is on the port side of the mounting assembly. I can't locate anything else that looks like a serial number. It doesn't match anything I can find on Evinrude serial numbers...
Alternator gave up. I cross referenced a new part, but it has three wires instead of four. This is probably not as hard as it seems, but I can't find a resource on what to do. Here is the new one: http://filterspro.com/detail.cfm?part=664972
I have an 89 Four Winns 265 Lib with an OMC 460. Everything is working well, motor is bored out and about 380 hp. I know all about the OMC saga of parts, exhausts, outdrives etc. I know this sounds crazy, but I want to trade for a pontoon (getting older). Anyone have a clue how to make this...
I have an old school OMC 460. I changed from points to electronic a few years ago. The timing seemed OK. But, when I try to set it, if I go to 10 BTDC, it won't run. I don't know what to try.
I have the dreaded clutch dog unit. It won't stay in gear. I want to replace the drive, but can't find current options. There are some older threads, but they are probably not current. Engine is in good shape (460).
