Hello,
yesterday I bought this 1989 Evinrude 48hp SPL motor. The seller showed it to me run but I still would like to completely go over it with servicing vital points before I actually use it.
Can someone provide info on:
- what type of lower gear unit lube to use on this motor?
- fuel to oil ratio?
- spark plug type?
- point setting (I think this should be under flywheel)?
- what's good compression value range for this motor?
- any additional information is greatly appreciated.
Also,
how does this motor switch gears, is it electric switch or mechanical, or hydro-electric (like I had on my 1971 Johnson 60hp)?
Thank you,
Alex.
