1953 Evinrude 7 1/2 HP Sportwin

[bilsta]

Model No. 7512 (09399) I just bought this motor. I know nothing about it. Anybody have any idea how to get information about this motor? I would like manuals, parts suppliers, etc. It seems to have good compression. The only obvious thing is it needs a new "o" ring on the gas cap.

The 7512 was the neutral clutch version of the Fleetwin, and the last year they used that shifting method. Your magneto is all standard OMC coils, points and condensers should you need mag parts. Your impeller is similar to the readily available impellers for later 5.5/6/7.5hp models, but needs to be trimmed down on a belt sander. The deck height is shorter on yours. The neutral clutches often need a little tinkering to work right, but aren't too hard to work on. I've got the same model and ran it just last weekend. Good little motors...<br />- Scott

Thank you very much. Do you have any idea where I can get a service manual or an owner's manual for it?

I got a copy of a manual from my local library. It is an Intermec manual that covers several makes and HP's. I photocopied the info relevent to my motor. <br /><br />I have a 1953 3hp Lightwin which I am rebuilding. Most parts are available at your local dealership. Their parts manual only go back to 58 but they are the same parts.
