man,what happened to the Evinrude thread?

Sorry about my other post. That's the problem with spoofers, they take
a good thread and turn it away. Rude to the topic poster.
Never saw you rude to anybody, so you sure don't deserve that.
Here's something you might like. The newer one has a sweeter tone.

Here's a guy down here. Older and simpler yet.

Makes you think about how simple these motors were.
These guys know them up and down and inside out.
But not much to learn.
Remembering if 3 things with 3 settings each have to be right to start
her up and keep her running. You got 1 right way to do it and 8 wrong ways.
So if you don't remember the right settings it's going to average about
4 1/2 tries to get it right. That's why folks have trouble.
You got to know your settings.



Thanks Jim. That was a good post and the video was quite interesting.
Now If I can only think of something to say about Evinrude besides my
mom and dear sweet old dad went to a party as his invited guest.
