What is this????

[philj]

Hello everybody

I just bought this old Evinrude 2 cylinders, seems from 30’s or 40’s… but I have no idea what model it is. It’s the first time I have one with both spark plugs on the same side… Any idea? (Don’t ask me the model number, if I had it, I’d check my lists… In fact I paid it but did not pick up yet…).

Thank you for your answers…

That is a lightfour 9.7 hp I think. It has four Pistons, top two fire then the bottom two.

Hi Ken
I already have a lightfour… on which the gas tank goes all around the flywheel… not this one… they’re really different…

correct also
depend from what year of production it is
then yours must be from the 40’ties
…I think…? ❓

Yours is from the mid 1930s. The Lightfour Imperial series had the rear mounted tank. Yours is missing the cast cover that would go over the carb.

Thank you for your answers… So i realize that I have two Zephyrs… When I will pick up the new one, I will post here both serial numbers and model numbers…

Here is the one I already had… NOTE that there is a recoil starter on my green one, the other one, no.

Thanks again

well , I can see it crystal clear.
but the message was that later models had a round tank like the Zephyr
I have a Lightfour NAVY model with the round tank model 4375 year 1943
normal versions must have that likewise.
