Re: Year of my Evinrude Starflite 100HP
Welcome to iboats.
<br /><br />1972<br /><br />I recall 85s and 115s, but not 100s. But those were good motors and I expect yours would be comparable. Treat the motor for carbon annually. The pistons like to break if too much carbon builds up. The good news is that carboning isn't nearly as much of a problem as it was in the 70s, mostly because of unleaded fuel and oil additives to keep carboning to a minimum. If that's Electric shift, use Premium Blend gearlube. Many synthetic gearlubes also work well. Hi Vis is kinda thick and makes for sluggish shifting.
