I picked up the subject motor from an auction yesterday.
You’d think I would have learned my lesson from the
1959 10 hp Evinrude I bought a week prior that turned
out to have bad wrist pins / pistons.
Being an auction motor, I didn’t get a chance to pull
the spark plugs and do the "wrist pin" test" (that I learned
last week) before I bought it.
I haven’t done said test on the latest one yet, but will today,
so place your bets early regarding "Good Wrist Pins"
or "Bad Wrist Pins". 😮
It came with a solid looking pressure tank and I know it doesn’t
leak, as it’s half full of gas…… most likely from when they
first struck oil in Pennsylvania!
I figure I can sell the pressure tank, if I so desire, for close
to half of what I have into the package, so if said motor turns
out to be a "knocker", I won’t be out too much.
Anyone have the pdf parts manual for a 10014 Evinrude?
Thanks!

I have the ’56 which is practically identical, I think it came from Garry’s pile of stuff.

I personally have a hard time passing up any 10 for a decent price. Mouse infested ones are the exception.

I’ve got three 10s running and a recent one I haven’t looked at yet – all three running had good wrist pins, so my bet is you will have good wrist pins; and, since you already had a bad one, the laws of averages are with you!
Good Luck!

Thanks for the pdf file Steve….. guessing 1956 is close enough.

Been working on a carb this morning, but curiosity is getting the best of me,
so I’ll go check the wrist pins before I hop on the lawn mower!

Thank You Ole, Bess, Ralph, and their dog Spot.
Now, who am I going to thank if it has nice, even compression?

The mood hit me a while ago quick see if the subject
motor would run. I hadn’t got around to checking
for spark, compression, or any of the neat things,
but the gas in the tank that came with it didn’t
smell too old, so thought perhaps it had run in
the last couple of years.
Wanted to quick check the gear lube first.
Of course, I couldn’t get the bottom plug out.
Managed to get some in via the top.
Started………. raining, on the second pull, fired
on the third, ran a few seconds on the fourth,
and stayed running on the 5th pull.
It sounded real good, pumped water, had forward and reverse.
Tried to lean out the low speed, but not much happened with
the needle turned all the way in, but it idled decent anyway.
Aborted the show after about four minutes before the rain
turned into another monsoon. Pretty sure after the last week,
Minnesota now has about 20,000 lakes. 😮
Put the motor back on the cart, and walked by a little later.
Decided that I must have managed to get some gear lube
in the case, as it was now on the garage floor, lol.
All in all, it just might be a keeper.
