I have a 1962 Evinrude Lightwin 3042B and main question is adjustment. I know about using a choke but I thought the tech who rebuilt it told me to start out with a different setting on the other knobs after warming up or something. Thanks. Probably more what you said, awesome
This will help me with my 1971 4hp yachwin. I'm having a hell of a time adjusting the speed, wasn't aware that I had to just them at full throttle and idle... good to know, thank you.
I've got a 1965 lightwin like this. bought not running. I've replaced the coils, wires, plugs, water pump, rebuilt carb, new head gasket, cleaned and gapped points. I am having a terrible time with coils. I bought a new set of the light green colored CDI ones from eBay. one of the first 2 I received was dead in arrival, so they sent another to replace. after running 20 minutes the other one of the first set died. I have just received a replacement for it but I'm wondering. is there something going on here that I'm not aware of? champion j4c, gapped at .030, and coils set flush with mounts. thank you
I just rebuilt my 62 3hp, got a video series on it. I still can't quite dial in a nice low idle tho. If I move it past the start position toward the Low position, it'll konk out. Any suggestions? Thx!
Hi please help. I have the same exact motor. It wouldn't start, so I noticed one of the sparks are bad. Changed the sparks. Trying to test with spark tester while pulling the cord to start it and spark tester does not light up. Any idea what the problem could be?
How do you tell what year these old evinrudes are? My grandpa gave me his old ducktwin motor. Having worked on the recoil I can tell it's the earlier style starter 1952-54 but that's all I can find
chrysleroutboarddude I must have mis read something because it's definitely a duck twin not a light twin it's brown with duck twin in the hood, I just rechecked it's 3016-01654
thanks. could you advise if i should buy an outboard its an old model mercury, never used or started, it was forgotten in a storage tags still on, and paint is flawless. do you think its piston is rusted or damaged from no gas/oil from all these years? should i go ahead buy it?
Well I don't live anywhere near salt water but I do know that You are to run them in a tub of fresh water for about 1/2 hour after using in salt water.
ruclips.net/video/RUfzaBFC0hY/видео.html There's mine it is a long video you won't see it really take off until halfway through, but it is beautiful scenery
I really enjoy your videos of the different kinds of outboard motors. I have a 1957 -Evinrude 3hp lightwin and I have learned a lot from your videos
Thank you.. The Lightwin is such a good little motor.
Nice explanation. Thanks for actually showing examples of the rich and lean conditions.
Excellent video on carb adjustments and very easy to understand.

I just got one identical to this and I'm wondering how it picks the water up is there an impeller as a newer motors have
+Glenn Edwards Yes it is a water cooled engine and yes it has a water pump.
What is the compression? or it might be lean on the low speed.
Do you know if the 1995 johnson evenrudes 4 strokes, pull start need a battery connected to them to get spark? No because its a pull start?
Well i am not aware of any battery ignition especially on a manual start motor.

What is the oil to fuel mixture ratio for this particular motor thanks is it 24 to 1
+Glenn Edwards 16/1 is the correct mix.
How do you tell what year these old evinrudes are? My grandpa gave me his old ducktwin motor. Having worked on the recoil I can tell it's the earlier style starter 1952-54 but that's all I can find
Well I have the book with all the numbers. What are your numbers? Model and serial and I will look.
chrysleroutboarddude it's a 3018 D1654
The 3018 is a 1956 3hp Lightwin Like thees ruclips.net/video/ximt83ZCAbw/видео.html
chrysleroutboarddude I must have mis read something because it's definitely a duck twin not a light twin it's brown with duck twin in the hood, I just rechecked it's 3016-01654
That would be a 1955 Ducktwin.
Can you still get parts for theese??
Yes! About 85% of the parts are available through Evinrude
do you know how much does this weigh? i can't seem to find any information. thanks.
They are 32lbs they use about 10% of the rated hp per hour at wot.
thanks. could you advise if i should buy an outboard its an old model mercury, never used or started, it was forgotten in a storage tags still on, and paint is flawless. do you think its piston is rusted or damaged from no gas/oil from all these years? should i go ahead buy it?
What year and size?
sorry 2.5hp 1995
that's a good motor but any motor that has been sitting for that long will need to be serviced and should be checked over like a used motor.
Thanks I appreciate it.
Blast from the past
