Re: firestone 4hp

Your motor is a 50.Built for Firestone by Scott Atwater.I'm pretty sure most parts would be used or possibly NOS.The Scott Guy at <br />/web.a-znet.com/~scottguy/may be able to help with parts info.Use 1/2 pint(8 ozs) per gallon fuel mix .Use TCW3 rated oil.Points set at .020,<br />Champion H10J plugs at .035.Scott Attwater was one of the first companies to get F N R especially on that small of a motor.

Thanks for the reply. I found a website with a lot of info on these motors so I figured I would post a link to it here for anybody else seeking info.<br /><br /> http://scottatwater.com/history_of_the_scott_atwater_out.htm <br /><br />Oh I forgot to mention that I took her ouit on the lake today and it ran like a top. Great little motor.
