Can someone ID this Evinrude

[William MacNeill]

I cannot find any markings on the transom mount or side of the motor. My guess it is stamped into the motor somewhere under all the dried grease and oil. It looks as there is a piece missing on the lower unit where the brass pipe falls short of the prop shaft

Tubs.

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

Your a smart guy there TUBS. Yes it is a 1933 Evinrude 432 2.2 HP. It seems to be all there with the exception of the brass tube. Flywheel turns over so it may be a winter project.

 

Thank you.

BTW Is it likely a coil could be found for the Evinrude 4416?

There are people way smarter than me on the pre. WWII stuff
but for one reason or another they rarely, if, ever log on to this
web sight anymore. You just happen to be asking questions
about stuff I’m familiar with. When it comes to the 432
Sportsingle today you became as smart as me.

Nice find. Usually the tanks on those motors look like potatoes.

Not bad for $30.00. I have it to the side right now. I have 2 others I am working on at the moment. A Johnson TN-27 and an Evinrude 4416. I also have 8 other motors to go through that I picked up in an estate sale to see if they are worth fixing. I am hoping the Evinrude 432 is going to be a runner and possibly fully restored if it is mechanically sound.

I am not trying to be “smart” or question anyone’s ability, just making sure you eliminated the sometimes overlooked simple stuff. 🙂 I am gathering that you tested the single cylinder  coil already from the singe plug wire end and grounded on other side.

I would guess the coil wouldn’t be that impossible to find, seems to be a LOT of these older motors around. Just finding someone with a parts donor is the “fun” challenge sometimes 🙂

It seems some smart and diligent antique outboard service people can sub the more modern omc type coil windings in place of the old coil winding. I have seen pictures for the 30s twin cylinder coils revamped.

I haven’t tried this yet, but I have been lucky and on the 4148. 402, and 4209 I found have good coils.

The 432 you have,(I only know form what was posted, not by sight lol) looks to be in real nice shape. Good thing the frost plugs have id stamped on them as those old id tags on the transom mount don’t always survive.

You are finding some great stuff.

Hello Steve., I always look for the obvious first with  any motor I am working on.  The order is compression,  spark, and then fuel. When I started I had compression so then checked for spark.  Had spark so tried to start and no go. Took carb apart and cleaned and tried again.  Started second pull and quit immediately.  I could not get it running long enough to adjust the carb.  With the help of another member he pointed out another area to clean.  Took carb apart again cleaned the port under the poppet valve and tried again.  Now I had nothing but a sore arm from pulling the rope.  So time to recheck.  I had fuel in carb,  I did not have spark.  Primary had .4 ohms and the secondary showed 0. I did find a coil on ebay,  actually the entire ignition plate and waiting on it to come in. I have just posted under member toys 3 more motors I acquired.  Also posted videos of some of my motors on the lake under the video section.  Pleasure to meet you.
