"Morning All.
Just found this site.could have done with it long ago.
I have recently aquired an evinrude of unknown vintage and HP,I think somewhere between 5 and 10 but I am hoping someone can tell me from the serial # 5522-01274.Can't find a model nunmber I am afraid.
This little motor runs like a rolex watch and is as quiet as a 4 stroke.The only thing apparently wrong with it is the hinge T piece on the end of th gear change shaft is corroded away and there is a mickey mouse lash up involving sheet metal and hose clamps,or a grip wrench (don't like that idea much).
My question is/are: what year and model/HP is it.
Can I get the bits to fix the gear change shaft.
How easy /hard would it be for me to fix.I have mechanical aptitude and tools but ) experience with outboards.
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give.
Regards Geoff Graydon"

"Just to add to the advice fro

"Just to add to the advice from JWB, you will probably need a new powerhead base gasket after removing it. There is no sealant used on that gasket, just put it on dry after thoroughly cleaning both mating surfaces. You should also use a good grade of Marine 2 stroke engine oil and mix at a 24:1 ratio."
