Hello Everyone.
I am new at this . I just bought a 1960 evinrude fast wind. !8 hp the serial number is 1503252855
It came with no gas plug or tank. Any info on substituting or purchasing. I says thats its a presurrised gas tank. Any info out there
 
The model number is the beginning of the serial number: Evinrude 15032

As raceone says the drawings show a conventional tank, see: Fuel Tank That drawing will show what parts are available.

That engine should have a fuel pump. The pressurized tank engines didn't need fuel pumps.

In this picture the adustment screw is in the air filter. So if i read the repair manual that one would have been connected to the thrird knob for air adjustment but the connectors ar no longer there. I tried buying them yesterday from marine engine.com but they dont ship to canada.
 
That is the low speed mixture adjustment.-----Try-----evinrudeparts.ca-----they may be able to help you.-----Where in Canada?
 
On a 64 year old motor I would do a complete evaluation before spending any beer tokens.-----Post the compression values here.-----It will need a new impeller.-----Any water in gearcase ?----Remove recoil.----Remove cover on flywheel.----Inspect coils.----See post #10
 
Hello Again
I took your advise and checked the condenser and coils. Need to replace coils and pointsé But at same time i noticed some oil So the top crankshaft seal.jpg

My question is i did the soap test and yes the seal is leaking, But the number 9 upper bearing seem to have a crack on each side of it. A hair line from top to inside the motor. Is it normally cracked or not and can you change the upper bearing . In manual it doesnt say. Do you need special tools.please advise
 
Do you have the motor apart ?-----I doubt you can see a crack on that bearing.----Are you sure you are not looking at the split of the engine block ????
 
On the internet it show the bearing for a 19660 upper bearing as two parts. I dont have the whole motor apart . But i wanted to change the upper seal i saw oil. And but i saw a hair line crap that is staright up and down. So i tjought there was a crack but it shows thats in two parts.
i wiil take a picture on the motor
I dont just want to change seal it bearing need to be changed . But do i have to i have to take motor apart to change bearing or can iy be pulled out like seal.

Sorry mate----The upper bearing is NOT 2 parts.----The center bearing is a CRACKED 2 part bearing..----And I am not working on my first motor.-----You have to be careful when looking at pictures on the internet.
 
Motor has to come apart to replace the top bearing.-----Why do you feel it needs to be replaced?.----I have never seen one of those cracked.----Lots damaged by water.
 
The bearing is located with a dowel pin.----Motor has to come apart to change bearing.----If bearing is bad , then crank is bad ( inner race) as well.----I do not believe the bearing is cracked on your motor.----Special tool used by shops to pull the seal.----Good luck with your motor.
 
On this repair video i saw the same cracks that mine
I cant go to shop today and take the actual picture beacause we are having a bad snow storm.

If you are referring to “cracks” in the top bearing…that was not the bearing, it was the “crack” between the two halves of the motor.
