Does any one have any information for a Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. 3.6hp outboard motor? |

Richard,
This site is really for "inboard engines".... but there is some historical info on Firestone motors in Peter Hunn's book.
I'm sure someone has reprints of the Firestone manuals... but I don't know who.
Regards,
Andrew |

A good place to start would be the Antique Outboard Web page located here |

HELP
I have a 10 hp firestone outboard, on the bottom of the head in the water jacket it looks like a freeze plug, is this a freeze plug and should it have a small hole in the center of it?
Was this motor manufactured by OMC? Where can we get a water pump for it?
Thanks,
Wayne |

Hey I'm working on a friends "1958" Firestone 3.6 HP outboard motor he just bought at a garage sale. I'm ready to fire it up & was reading on it that it says to use 2 pts. (1 qt.) of 30 wt. oil to 1 Gal. of gas. This seems awful oil rich. I know its reg. oil not 2-cycle oil,but can someone tell me what mix (ratio) they run in these old engines and if they use modern 2-cycle oil nowadays? Thanks for any help anyone can give me. |

Der! Reading some blogs in other forums I realize that the decal (which is in poor shape on this engine) that states the mixing ratio probably reads 1/2 pt.per gal. of gas not 2 pts. My BAD. This makes alot more sense and would put the mixing ratio at 16:1. Does this sound about right? |
