I got her running today after work, by cleaning the carb and flushing out the tank, and it started on the 1st pull!! She pumps water like a fire engine and runs like a champ!! I also did a compression test, and she has 130 psi, the same as my 1968 FP and my 1969 F. I'll post more pics of it after I ...

The stand didn't come with it, it is my 1950's Evinrude factory showroom stand.

Got this today, along with 2 other Evinrudes!

She is a 59-60 SJP 2-3 hp, and didn't have spark when I got her, but I cleaned up the points and now she has great spark!!

In addition to my 68 FP and the 59-60 SJP I'm getting soon, I picked this 1969 Featherweight up today at an Antique Outboard Motor Club swap meet today for 80 USD. I never cleaned the points, but cleaned the tank, carb, and fuel line and she fired right up and she runs great!

Does your 25mph speed mean it planes?

yes it planes, weighs 112 pounds dry

will plane with my 1950 Evinrude Fleetwin 7.5 hp at 16.8 mph

2003 Sylvan 12' aluminum semi vee hull and 1968 Seagull 40+

I use this boat to test all of my vintage motors, and it will do 25 mph with my 1956 Johnson 15 hp, and I might take it out Saturday with my Seagull.

I mix it myself, but I only had 16:1, which I run in my other vintage motors.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDRgOTtHTe0 Here's my 68 40+ I got before Christmas that I did some work to and now it runs great. I didn't have any 10:1 so I ran it on 16:1, but when I run it on a boat, I'll use 10:1.
