inlet covers from 1975 bigtwin

New model coils (the type that don't crack!)

Found a great shop near home, called Queensland Ignition leads, new leads parts cost $15.00

Can't see these connector comming off anytime soon!

Finished, with boots on. These were easy to make, and the new connectors are heaps better than the old evinrude spring clip arrangement.

????? my marks don't match the manual?????

I have at this stage already stripped and rebuilt the leg and gearcase. The powerhead is halfway there. New bearings, seals and rings have been fitted.

The head has been welded and machined, All ready to be Re-assembled

The water cover is on, just waiting for my head gasket.....

I got a bit bored this evening. The badgeing still needs some black paint to highlight the EVINRUDE wording.

working in the lounge room...... it was my wife's idea, Honest!

the head on, and painted

This is my old girl.... Smokey. She loves to just be around....

these were found on a mid 70's model bigtwin, now on mine. (the later model two ring pistons also found their way into this engine)

Finished, the port side.

New wiring, fully rebuilt vacumm cutout switch.

Cowling locked on, all new engine cover seals etc...

Finished, at last. This has taken way too long. But it's very satisfying. Considering what I started with. And almost every Evinrude dealer in Brisbane telling me to bin it and buy a new motor...... Except for Alan Downes, from Downes Marine. He has been very helpfull, now it's at a stage that I can show him. And hope it is up to his expectations. (he also collects old Johnnyrudes)

I think they're railway sleepers......

As it sits right now. The new transom has been cut. It is two pieces of 3/4" ply that will be glassed together, then fitted to the hull. Need Epoxy first......

Trial fit
