The top 4 photos in this thread are a Champion outboard. When I was 12 or 13 I had one on an old Sears lapstrake row boat previously abondoned by the neighbour (took two people to run...one to either row or drive the outboard...one to bail). The motor always ran...it was just a matter of how much coaxing, pulling, priming, coaxing etc, etc. It was not environmentally friendly as to start you had to hold the float pin down until there was a sufficient flow of gas forming a slick on the water. Today "they" would hang you with hemp rope from an old growth white pine if you left a mess like that in your wake. |
