old evinrude

[bsoehnge]

I've recently purchased an old Evinrude (model # 3038, serial # B4078). It's got a blue-grey body with off-white panels on the cover. I was wondering - What year model is it? What hp is it? How much is it worth? What should the fuelil ratio be? What spark plugs should I use? And what should the gap be on the points and plug? Thanks for your help!

3038=1961.<br />3 HP.<br />32:1.<br />If running well, in the ballpark of $150-$300.<br />Don't know the specs.

I love these pictures from the old catalog (1960). Maybe you want to see it too.<br /> http://mitglied.lycos.de/old_omc/e_1960/seite_16_17.jpg <br /><br />The specifications (hard/impossible to read):<br /> http://mitglied.lycos.de/old_omc/e_1960/seite_18_19.jpg <br /><br />Can't give you any info you need.

Re: old evinrude

Thanks for the great information! The pix were great. One question, MG suggested 32:1 fuelil ratio; however, there is writing on the cover which suggests 24:1? Should I go with MG or the cover? Thanks for your help!
