Identify of an Evinrude outboard 1920’s?

[Anonymous]

Dear Sir,

My late father had an old Evinrude outboard motor which he rebuilt from a box of parts in the 1970’s. The engine was used up until 30 years ago.

I am trying to find out some information about the engine. There is a plate which is very difficult to decipher. My father believed the outboard was from the 1920’s.

I have attached some pictures for your information and I look forward to any assistance you can give please.

Kind regards

According to the “bible”, a #4008 is a 1934 Single. Not sure about anything else other than OMC made several Singles, Sport Single and several others. Does it have a brass lower unit and foot? Are the decals legible?

The bottom of the shaft and exhaust are brass. No decals remain.

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

Like the Sport single, 2.2hp. Takes a Champion 6M or K-15J set at 0.025″. Points set at 0.020″. Oil gas ratio 2/3 rds pint oil to a gallon gas. Like the home made gas tank.
