      If you shim those two halves, you may make it fit more loosely around the driveshaft tube than it was originally meant to be. As Tubs pointed out – the parts list doesn’t show any shims. Safe to say that if it didn’t make it into the parts list, Evinrude didn’t put it on the motor.

      Hope this helps.

      Best,

        I’ll have to take it apart again. The steering is not working. There is a 3/8" gap between the reverse mech and the crankcase. When I set it on the floor it closes up. Turning the lower by hand is a little tight. Oh well, I’ll keep pluggin’ away. Thanks for the parts list and support.

          Your gap between the reverser and the
          crankcase seem normal. The fit on this
          system has a lot to be desired. Turning
          this part around may solve your problem.
          It may be somewhere else. Checking
          each part for movement as you assemble
          them can be helpful in discovering where
          it may be binding.

          A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

            Thanks for the photo, Tubs. Part #A262 was turned around backwards. Now I see that the only thing keeping the lower from spinning itself around is the reversing mech. Turning the F-R lets A262 loose momenteraly to catch on the other notch on the reversing mech. Does this sound right? If so, I can understand why some guys welded them.

              Do you have any photos of that beautiful model A, Tub’s?

                Yes To all of the above. If you look at the parts picture I posted
                you’ll see where someone use screws to make the reversing mech.
                inoperable rather than welding. Happened really early in its life
                as it is in really good condition.

                I have but my desk top is out for repair. Here is a You Tube slideshow
                one part at a time.

                  Beautiful. I recently bought a 1922 Model A that needs a couple little things. I’m using yours for comparison.

                    One more thing worries me. What is keeping the driveshaft and tube from falling out, besides the two bolts on part A262?

                      That’s it but my experience is they
                      are more than adequate. The key
                      inside the sleeve that attaches to
                      the crankshaft also has to move
                      in the slot of the driveshaft at the
                      same time. Your more likely to
                      have difficulty in getting the tube
                      to move than to have is slip out.
                      The ability to adjust the length of
                      the motor to what ever the transom
                      height is on the boat you may be
                      putting it on is a feature mentioned
                      in the manual.

                        I finished ‘er up today. Ran for 20 seconds and did’nt even get warm. I should be able to run it in the tank Sunday when my son comes over to help me pick it up. No museum piece like Tubs’… just a runner. Can’t wait to get it on the boat. Thanks for all the help.
