a beer is on the line! my buddy and i had identical small motors, mine was an evinrude, his was a johnson. the throttle was a lever on the side, where you would normally see a shifter.....motors had no f/n/r. i say they were 3hp early 70's, he says 4hp late 70's. (this was a looong time ago). motors were notorious for the female spline in the crank stripping, and a common fix was to weld a hex socket to the crank and grind the driveshaft to fit the socket.....fix never lasted that long, but kept ya fishin! both motors , his and mine did the same thing, as well as other identical motors on the lake.
were these early 70's 3hp ,i get a beer.....or late 70's 4hp....he gets a beer? (if someone has a pic of something that sounds like this, it may get me my beer! lol )
