I picked up this 1937 sears waterwitch 2.5hp outboard motor up at a garage sale for $40. l was told it was a cleanout from an old timers shed. so lets see what a engine that is 83 years old is made of and can it be revived?
one mans junk is another mans treasure…

I’m stunned at how this thing is coming apart. ASE Master Tech here. Very much enjoying watching your channel. Much respect to you friend.
That’s a beautiful old outboard, imagine if you polished all that alloy tin work , would be a great display or a collector might pay you good money for it. Nice work
Bom vídeo 😮
Just seeing how these old machines were built is totally worth watching the videos, even if they dont run. Especially the unconventional technology that seems so North Korean today.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Reminds me of being a kid in my older friends house and we woul dmess with engines, old cars etc and "putter" in the garage. I want to get back to this and give up the modern press for the almighty buck, and start enjoying life again! Thanks for the videos, you are an insperation!
Point gap?
Looks like something from Buck Rogers.
Waterwitch Outboards built by the Kissel Motor Company in Hartford … by the Kissel brothers to produce outboard motors for Sears Roebuck.
