Anybody heard of this engine?
I "inherited" a Ted Williams 7.5 hp aircooled engine, circa 30-40 years old?
looks in good shape, won't start though. I am wondering where I could get a carb kit for it, any ideas? Thx OldSteveH |

Someone else made it (Elgin?) but your best chance of finding carb parts will be to start with the carb manufacturer. go to a lawn mower shop. |

Thx OldSteveH SEARS TED WILLIAMS: Built by ESKA. For parts or tech help... call Vern at Certified Parts Corp. His number is: 1-800-356-0777. They bought the Eska parts stock back around 1986 when the firm folded. Rob |

The main problem you are going to have is the coil for energize the ignition system. I expect to have to clean up the magneto, check and possibly replace the ignition wire, check the shutoff (ground) wiring. I was hoping not to have to replace the coil, if one is tough to find then hopefully it can be rewound. OldSteveH |

Hey I'm impressed. Maybe you could tell me where I can get parts for my 7.5
Ted Williams water cooled (mid to late '60's). I heard two names tossed around--Scott A****er, McCullough. Neat little motor, weedless prop, all ss fasteners and twin impellers, one for the water pump the other for a bailer. LD "trainfan1" wrote in message ...

The Los Angeles based chain saw manufacturer took over the Scott-A****er company from the namesakes in 1956, the name was soon shortened to Scott, & by 1964 it was McCulloch. Same company, just a name morph. Your 7.5 was based on the popular "Fishing Scott" rooted in the late 50's into 60's production. http://www.geocities.com/scottmc9hp/badted-01.jpg http://www.geocities.com/scottmc9hp/Badted-02.jpg http://www.geocities.com/scottmc9hp/Badted-03.jpg http://www.geocities.com/scottmc9hp/Badted-04.jpg http://www.geocities.com/scottmc9hp/Badted-05.jpg a 9hp version: http://www.geocities.com/scottmc9hp/sears1.jpg Rob |

I remember them making a big thing of the built in bailer back then. I also remember the big Scott's as being rather noisy. A high school buddy of mine had a Crestliner with a 35 hp Scott and it was much louder than the Evinrudes we ran on our boats. Tom. |

I remember them making a big thing of the built in bailer back then. A long-time Scott / McCulloch feature. I also remember the big Scott's as being rather noisy. A high school buddy of mine had a Crestliner with a 35 hp Scott and it was much louder than the Evinrudes we ran on our boats. 30 & 33 hp, then 40 hp, there was no 35hp Scott / McCulloch. They were noisy, the cowls were much simpler than the clamshell OMC brands, but Scott had fiberglass cowls starting around 1957 and Johnson/Evinrude caught up a couple of years later. The Johnson/Evinrude 35 & 40 went to a complicated noise reduction system involving an outer metal shell, & a large doughnut gasket near the waterline, and an intake silencer in the lower cowl. They were quieter, the Scott / McCulloch kept the simpler design that OMC retained for the value-orientated 28hp & 33Hp, and the Gale 35hp, w/o the full silencing treatment. Rob |
