Just bought a 1974 70hp evinrude. Is it a good'n. Or is it a time bomb? Good compression an all 3 cylinders 120psi. Runs great. New coils. New cdi box. New plugs. New water pump. Ugly as homemade soap! Nothin a rattle can can't fix tho. Did that era 70 hp's have a good rep or bad? Also noticed...

I have discovered that the v4 motors are more readily available than like say a 75 stinger or 70. How much heavier are these motors than a 3cyl? 75 3cyl vs. 85 v4?
I recently purchased a 77-78 model 15 hp evinrude with points ignition from a guy for 40 bucks. It had a busted lower unit. I had an 83 model 9.9 that was giving me a fit. So I took the 15 hp power head and exhaust and put it in the 9.9. I then took all the electronics off of the 9.9 and put it...
Bought a 60hp johnson motor over the weekend for $100. Has good compression but no fire. I started checking it out and there they were...points! Holy crap I hate points! It is a mid 70's motor. It is a 3 cylinder motor. My question is this. Can it be converted to electronic ignition? If not...
