1974 4HP Envinrude Yachtwin

[curlyjones]

Hello there, new to this board!

Anyway i have a 1974 4hp Yachtwin for my 22ft sailboat that was running quite well last time it was used (approx 2 years ago) but now has been laid up in storage for that time. I got it out the other day and was taking a look at cleaning the inside of old oil and goop as well as repainting the outside. However well i was inspecting the motor i noticed one of the spark plug wires was no longer connected to the spark plug cap. Is there a easy fix to this problem, and is there somewhere online i can download .pdf copies of the manuals?

welcome to iboats.
manuals are copyrighted materials, not free on line. you can see detail diagrams and parts list >>> http://shop2.evinrude.com/ext/index.aspx?s1=bf6ad09c53cead335fcfd8a6471c0f7f

i assume you mean the plug end of the wire. pull the spring out of the boot, reconnect the wire, and put boot back on.

after 2 years sitting, it is going to need a new impeller, and water pump service, also 99% the carb is going to need cleaning.

there is a lot of great info here >>> http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=299680

i also have a 1974 4 hp.
read up, then ask your questions, here. there are no dumb questions on iboats.

I found this website offering downloadable manuals, know anything about the quality of the manuals these guys offer?

Probably Clymer garbage ones, they are ok but they aren't the good ones from OMC that are made for your specific model.
