Re: Evinrude Fastwin 15 hp

I believe that is a 53 the first year for that 15.Great motors eventually became the 18.
Is the gearcase empty?Don't remove the little Phillips screw just the large flat head fill/vent screws.While it may need seals try new gear lube in through the bottom screw.New gaskets on F/V screws.If it was stored in freezing weather without fresh gearlube the gearcase may be cracked.When you get it to run check the lube after 30 minutes or so.If the motor has sat around a lot (year or more)you may have to go through the fuel system from tank to carb.If the coils are original you should change them,very common failures.If they haven't failed they soon will.You may be able to peek at them through a service window on the flywheel.Any chalkyness, discoloration or cracks get new.Available right here at iboats among many other places.
There is no need to yank the cord, A good solid pull will do it.Also be sure it is ingaged before pulling its easier on the pawls. Rope for 56 15 should be 7/32,70" long ,yours should be similar.Try to never pull to the end.

Can't add much more to that. Replace the rope and make sure you have enough in there. I like to use at least 6' lengths since that is my maxium reach from hand to hand.

If the motor doesn't fire up when you replace the cord, check the ingnition coils (located under the flywheel). The coils in these old e-rudes are notorius for self destructing.

I have an opportunity to buy an Evinrude Super Fastwin 15hp outboard motor and gas can good condition #15012-33519. The owner got it from an estate sale. It looks good, but how do I know if it works or is worth buying. How much is a good price?

Thanks Dr. Dock
