Need info on 2 old Evinrudes '54 and '63

[bdickerson]

I have acquired 2 old Evinrudes (FleeTwins). I was told they were both 5 HP. By diligent searching I was able to track model and serial numbers down to determine they are actually a 1954 7.5 HP 7514 and a 1963 10 HP 10302. I have a service/repair manual on the way for the "newer" one, but have yet to locate any info on the "older" 7.5 HP model. Any help I can get in locating service manuals or general information regarding service/operation/value of either motor would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bill,<br /> If your manual for the '63 is a general service manual that covers several years/models, I think you'll find that much of the general service information is transferable to your '54. The ignition and carburetor systems are quite similar and service procedures would be the same.<br /> You could probably run the '63 on a diet of 32:1, but the '54 should get 24:1 fuel mix.<br /> Lots of service parts available for both motors - lower unit seal kits, impellers, carb kits, ignition components, etc. are all readily available.<br />Have fun!<br />

Thanks Klondike and Chinewalker. I appreciate your responses. I'm glad to know they are common and parts will be available. Other than Maxrules, are there preferred sources for parts?<br /><br />I'm sure I'll be back with more questions, but this should get me started.

Napa Auto Parts is a good source BUT,.... you'll need the correct oem part number.<br /><br />On line - try <br /> http://www.featherweightoutboards.com/ <br /> http://www.twincityoutboards.com/ <br />Both of these places, tell'em what you've got & what your looking for and they'll check for the correct p/n<br /><br />Scott,<br /><br />WOW!
