  • This entry level air-cooled outboard also has an impeller and I replaced it with a new one. The recoil rope guide pulleys had grooves worn in them so bad the rope would bind and you couldn't pull start it. I had my machinist brother make two new wheels out of 'Nylatron' and it works great now.

      It's incredible how deep the grooves were! All the way to the spindles!

    I had the 15 Hp version of and gave it to a friend. Basically it’s an Eska !

      I have the 9.9hp and the 15hp versions. The powerhead design and performance is considerably better!

      It's all Eska with Sears badging. Air-cooled, single cylinder with enough vibration to compact sand! Lol ☺️

      That was a nice feature they had for switching to remote fuel tank

      ​@bymarcatholictinkering Yes, I have impellers on hand. But even this has an impeller too for cooling the bottom end and exhaust. Thanks for watching

    Pretty cool tech on the fuel system. I think I have a similar motor laying around the boathouse that I'll give you in the coming weeks.

      I’m really impressed that your motors always start on the 1st pull.
