"I have an Eska 7.5 hp Mod-142
"I have an Eska 7.5 hp Mod-14209A Ser-38-320059 (1983?) that I received as a bonus (kicker) to a 17' runabout a couple of years back. The Eska is reported to have been working when last used. 15 years ago. I am not familiar with outboards but I am currently out of work and want to fix this Eska, or scrap it. I can't afford to throw money at this, but some parts will be necessary, I am sure. I have an Owners Manual and Parts List. Can you suggest what should be examined and what to look for, what things Should Be done, and any recommendations to determine if this is a keeper motor. It would be great to put it to use."
