I am that guy. I've brought so many oldies back to life, I cannot count. So rewarding.

I am that guy too. But I CAN count. Look at my signature.

Find ----evinrudeparts.ca-----Look up the parts there.----Or-----crowley marine----for parts there.

I believe you have a motor slightly older than 1984. Why? because it has the beloved Lo-Tension magneto. You need to know this if you are going to order a coil.

EDIT: 1983 model E40RWLCTA has the Lo-Tension magneto. Coil for that one is part number 0502881

 

[racerone]

That ignition system is shown on the 83 commercial models.-----Note----COMMERCIAL----Is all about marketing.

Compression results. 90 on the top cylinder and 64 on the bottom. Hasn't ran in forever so the rings may be stuck some.

 

[racerone]

Do not spend any beer tokens at this time.-----Remove bypass covers and have a look at pistons / rings.----This does not sound encouraging.

 

[24simpson]

The bores are amazing. Full cross hatch. Zero grooves. I am impressed.

 

[jimmbo]

Do the Rings have any tension?

 

[24simpson]

Do the Rings have any tension?

I didn't take the covers off yet. I bore scoped it. The motor is outside on the boat still, I am waiting for help to get it on a stand and into the garage before tearing it open.

Cross hatch means nothing to compression

 

[24simpson]

Cross hatch means nothing to compression

Agreed. I was just happy to not see any heavy grooves or ridges.

I cannot find model E40RWLCTA anywhere online. :-(

Well----I can find that 40 listed for 1983.----But not the A model.------The A means nothing as far as parts are concerned.-----Not sure why you are confused by this.----They just did not sell many of these and only in certain markets.-----Your local friendly dealer ( if you still have one ) can help you with this.

I didn't know that the last character didn't matter. New to this boat motor thing. Thanks for the help.
