    My 1915 Evinrude is finally done being restored.

    A true labor of love. It's my oldest motor and was such fun to restore. Completely disassembled, cylinder honed, everything polished plus a lot of detail work. Had to cut a hole in the gas tank to straighten it out from the inside then welded the cut out piece back in. Had to hand make the...

    Re: 1915 Evinrude questions Very close to being completed. Waiting for the decals and I'm working on the prop. A true labor of love. The gas tank took about a month of on and off work. Had to cut a hole in the back to remove the dents and then weld it back in. Had to hand make the wooden...

    1915 Evinrude with drip oiler

    Re: 1915 Evinrude with drip oiler Here is the photo of the other 1915 I found for sale that has the same exact drip oiler on it. This is what made me question whether they were an option, aftermarket or??

    1915 Evinrude with drip oiler

    Re: 1915 Evinrude with drip oiler The serial number is 51859, so early 1915. I have rebuilt the powerhead and am about 95% done with the restoration. The gas tank has taken awhile, a month or so, because I had to cut a hole in the back side to pound the dents out. It's now 100% straight after a...

    1915 Evinrude with drip oiler

    Did these ever come with bearing drip oilers? Was it an option or aftermarket maybe? My 1915 that I'm restoring has one on the top crank bearing. I have seen one other 1915 with the same oiler but most have the grease cup. I want to keep it as original as I can but have to admit I like the...

    Antique outboards with left and right hand prop rotation

    Not sure if this should go under props or engines so I'll start here. I am restoring a 1915 Evinrude Model A and my prop was bent. I also have a 1917 Evinrude Model AA, the boat anchor twin, so I thought I would use the prop off it since it's near perfect. After removing it I see one is left...

    Re: 1915 Evinrude questions Thanks everyone for the comments and the tips. It is very much appreciated. Actually my flywheel still has a nice nickel finish over the brass.

    1915 Evinrude questions

    Can someone explain what the brass ring located on the shaft above the lower unit does? I was assuming it has something to do with the ability or the lower unit to spin around into reverse. Also the carburetor adjustment screw on the top of the bowl, is it original? I saw another one and it was...

    1938 Neptune 1A39 1.2HP

    Recently bought a Neptune motor that I plan on restoring. Having no luck finding a manual or other engine references. I was told it was a 1938 but the data plate seems to say 1A39. Does this mean it's a '39? I am trying to find out the original color, engine specs etc. Hopefully the data plate...
