That was a great buy! I had a '72 Evinrude 6hp that was very similar to this one – outstanding OB motor, dependable as all get out. Gave it to my son to enjoy, and it's still in nice shape.
damn mustie you get the deals id love to get an outboard for $2 good job
Need water pump fixed. I just bought same motor for 100$. And I thought I got a deal
Where is the water pump outlet on this motor?
That's an awesome little motor. I didn't know they made them that small. I know horsepower wise they did but shoot that sucker doubles go on the back of a canoe. It would be a really fast canoe though.
Two bucks. Great deal.
just got a motor like this on a small jon boat I bought. any advice on adjusting the fuel mixture on the engine. I usually mix the gas/oil at 50 to 1…just wondering about carbs on this old thing
Yeah, not pumping much water….But, you got a bargain on one of the mose reliable outboards ever made…This engine is worth the investment of a new water pump and water ever else it needs to keep it humming for years to come…
just had a little dirt in the pee hole,
It appears that it isn't pumping water.
@torcan1978 I sold it a while back , thinfk it went for 150- 200, it ran well
i own the same engine. 6 hp evinrude fisherman. its a 1973. the most reliable motor ive ever owned. starts on first pull runs so smooth. just change out the lower gear oil and plugs once a year, winterize properly if nec.. and you are set for another 30 years.
Great deal for $2 and the satisfaction of bringing another one back from the dead.
Good stuff.
@TheRickfix thanks now I need to fix the zodiac so it can be used,,,
