OPTRAIIONOF
ANGLE
ADJUSTMENT
simple means is provided for adjusting the motor
a vertical position to make allowance for angle
the transom.
To accomplish this adjustntent, tilt the motor slightly
(gear shift lever must bein FORWARDor NEUTRAL) ,
then lift up on angle adjustment lever (see item 5,
Figure 5) and move it ahead or back in the slots in
the stern bracket so that motor is in a vertical posi-
tion when lower unit rests against thelever. Onsome
boats it may be necessary to correct angle adjust-
ment to maintain motor in a vertical position when
changing load from one to more passengers. Always
try to arrange load so boat runs on an even keel.
Transom (stern) angles may vary somewhat; how-
ever, range of adjustment is sufficient to accommo-
date angles found in most boats.
GEARSHIFI
The motor is equipped with gear shift control to
provide operation of the motor in Forward, Neutral,
or Reverse by means of a gearshift Iever (Figure 4)
located on side of motor below the tank, Move the
lever as far as possible toward front of tank for
"Forward" motion of boat -- toward rear of tank as
far as possible for "Reverse" motion of boat. The
intermediate position is "Neutral" or out of gear.
When motor is not running the internal gear shift mech-
anism may be in such a position that gear shift lever
cannot be moved from "Neutral" into "Forward" or
"Reverse" --- DO NOT FORCE. This may be reme-
died by pulling on the startercordwiththrottlecontrol
at STOP to turn gears slightlyuntilthegearshiftlever
will move to desired position. Extreme care should
be taken to prevent bending or striking the lever.

YOURTVIOTOR
REVERSE
Always retard motor speed to within "shifting range"
as indicated on throttle control plate before shifting.
A special reverse lock (item 4, Figure 5) built into
the swivel bracket locks the motor against tilting
when in reverse. Use extra care when running in
reverse to avoid striking any obstruction and dam-
aging lower unit parts. The tilting feature functions
only in FORWARD or NEUTRAL gear shift position.
LUBRICATION
AND
FUELINSTRUCTIONS
Proper lubrication is an important factor in the per-
formance and life of your outboard motor. The
following instructions are therefore very important
and should be followed carefully.
The oil and fuel mixture referred to in the following
instructions should always be thoroughly mixed in a
separate container before pouring into motor fuel
tanK: NEVER POUR SEPARATELY INTO FUEL
TANK. Also, all fuel should be poured through a
fine mesh strainer to remove dirt and water which
may be present: Use only metal containers.
TYPE OF GASOLINE. Use a good grade of regular
gasoline.
TYPE OF OIL. Use a high grade outboard oil . or,
if that is not availabie, regular SAE 30 motor oil .
Avoid use of low-priced, third grade (ML) oils.
MIXTURE. Mix 1r'2 pint of oil with each gallon of
gasoline.
PROCEDURE. Pour into the container approximately
one-half the amount of gasoline required. Add all
the oil required at the ratio of 1t2 pint of oil to each
gallon of gasoline. Shake the two together until they
are thoroughly mixed. Add the balance of gasoline.
Shake container briskly to insure mixing.
LUBRIC.ATION OF GEAR CASE. The gear case has
been filled at the factory with the correct lubricant.
Check for Iubricant a-fter first 5 hours of operation;
then every 50 hours. For method of lubrication, see
page 5.

BREAK-IN
PERIOD
Reasonable care in the operation of the motor during
t}te first seyeral hours of use will improve ir* i,€r.-
formance andinsure longer li-fe. Follow the fuel and
lubrication instructions carefully. After operatlng
motor at part throttle for aboutonehr)ur, it is per-
missible to run at full throitie for a few secondsfol-
lowed by a few minutes of part throttle operation.
Repeat frequently, gradually increasing the time of
full throttle until another two l.ours of operation are
completed. No extra oil is required lor the break-in
period.

CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENT
The carburetor is designed to operate efficiently at
all speeds. Adjustments for [igh and slow speedare
required. Adjustments can be made to your carj
buretor as received from the factory simply by turn-
ing the krrebs to the left or right. Turning the knobs
to the left (counterclockwise) enriches the mlxture
(increasing ratlo of fuel to alr); turning to the right
(clockwise) leans the mi:dure (decreaslng ratio of
fuel to air) . A rich mixture may cause the motor
to run "rough," whlle a lean mixture is indicated
by 'rcoughlng or spltting" ln the carburetor.
srrfficient for average con-
unusual conditions (such as
with heavy loads, very slow trolling, unusual at-
mospherlc conditlons, or after repairs) adjustment
may be requlred. First loosen, but do not remove,
screws in the center of botlr knobs. Pull knobs out
past stops at rear of knobs so that they wtII turn
freely. Then tighten screws. Turn both knobs to
the rlght untll needleseats gently. DO NOT FORCE,
as needlemay be damaged. Then back off bothtnobs
about 1-1/2 turns.
IIIGH SPEED ADJUSTMENT: Start motor as pre-
viously tnstructed and run at FAST until it haswarm-
ed up. Then operate motor at full power. Turn knob
to left or right to obtain best high speed setting.
Loosen center screw. DO NOT DISTURB POSIIION
OF NEEDLE. Adjust knob to point stralght up.
Push knob back on shaft to original positlon. Leave
enough clearance so knob will turn wlthout blndlng
on motor cover. Ttghten center screw to secure
knob.
SLOWSPEEDADIUSTMENT: Thlsadjustment should
be performed after htgh speed adjustment. Operate
motor at slow speed. Turn slow speed knob to left
or rlght until top performance ls obtained. Then
reset the knob as described under High Speed Ad-
justment.
c0-PtLoT
The co-pilot permits the motor to maintain a set
course without holding steering handle. It can be
adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw, lo-
cated in the center of the pivot bearing (ttem 2,
Figure 5) to the deslred tension.
TILTINGOFMOTOR
The tilting feature ls designed to permit self tilting
when strlking any submerged object while running in
forward position. Care, however, shouldbe taken in
obstructed waters, not to operate motor at too high a
speed. Thts ttlting feature is also useful in boat
launchlng, beachlng or rowlng ln shallow waters.
To ttlt the motor, grasp the carrylng handleandrear
of gas tank and pull the motor toward you. The
motor can be tilted only when gear shift lever is in
FORWARD or NEUTRAL positton. Never try to tilt
motor by beartng down on steering handle.
TILTINGFRICTION
Proper ttlttng frlction ls set at factory, but through
contlnued use, frictlon may have to be adJusted.
To adjust, loosen or draw up on tilting bolt nut
(ltem 6, Ftgure 5) as requtred, uslng a wrench.
Tension of tllt need not be too great, but just suffl-
cient to maintain the motor ln any posttion of tilt.

CARTOTYOURTIOTOR
GEARLUBRICAT]ON
Where a complete change of lubricant is required,
remove both the fill and drain plugs (Figure 8) wlth
motor in upright position. Drain out all of the oil,
water, or residue, replace the drain plug, then
fill
the gear case through the flll plug with a pump type
oil can. Replace plug.
We recommend a good grade SAE 90 automotlve
(hypoid) gear lubricant. In case of emergency it is
permlsstble to use a good grade SAE 30 englne oil,
but only until such tlme as proper lubricant can be
obtained.
The gear case should be checked for presence of
water. at frequent intervals. When checking, the
motor must have been idle for some time to allow
oll andwater to separate. To check, remove the oil
fiII plug and loosen the otl drain plug partly to allow
enough of the lubricant to drain out to determine
whether or not water is present. If uo water ls
present the drain plug may be retightened without
excessive Ioss of lubrlcant. Be sure to refill the
gear case to the fill plug level. If water is present,
drain gear case andrefill. After running motor for
several hours, again checkfor water. If presence of
water persists, have seals in gear case checked,
GREASE FITTINGS

GREASING
There are two Zerk type grease fittings on the motor
which should
be greased

PROPTLIiR
Motors are equippedwith a propeller which gives the
best aLl around performance on'the average boat.
Adding a high speed propeller to a motor iuili nct
increase the speed of the boat unless the boat itself
is light and designed to develop higher speed" Wt:
cannot be responsible for wear or damage
to a motor'
used for raclng or equipped
with a racirrg propeller.
PROPELLERDRIVEPIN
Should
the propeller strike an underwater nbstniction
forcibly, the propeller drive pin may shear. This
should rarely, iI ever, occur, becauseof the shock
absorber. TURN OFF MOTOR
IMMEDIATELY. Re-
H move rubber cap. Remove broken pin by driving
" .:'parts out wlth a punch. Examine propeller, A blow
forceful enoughto shear the drive pin may aiso have
damagedthe propell.er
seriously. Propellershouldbe
replaced if badly damaged. Drive a new pin in place,
securing propeller to the shaft. Replace rubber cap.
SHOCKABSORBER
The shock absorber assembly (item 38, page 18)
consists of a comparatively strong spring inserted
tightly into a retainer and pilot. The retainer is
locked to upper driveshaft and pllot pinnedto lower
drtveshaft. Action of the sllp clutch assemblv is
such that when the propeller strikes an underwater
obstructlon the spring ls caused to coll slightly
in either the retainer or pllot, or in both, releasing
lts grtp, thereby absorbing shock of suddenimpact.
REMOVINGSIDE
MOTORCOVERS
You may desire to remove the side motor covers
to inspect spark plugs or other parts of the power-
head, To remove port cover, simply remove two
mountingscrews andchokeknob. Forthestarboard
cover, yorr
needremove just the two side mounting
screws. Pull out hinged gear shift lever until it
can be turned to point down. Then liJt off cover.
SPARKPLUG
The correct spark pluggap
is .030inch. Plugsare
set properly at the factory and are right when the
motor is received. We recommend ChampionJ6J
or Auto Lite A3X spark plugs, or equivalentfor re-
placement. Keep the spark plug cables free from
oil and do not permit them to become frayed or
broken. Clean the spark plugs periodicall.y and re-
set to tlre proper gap setting. Be sure gaskets are
intact. For access to spark plugs, remove port
motor cover.
COOLING
SYSTEM
Water for cooling purposes is provided by action of
the single stage rubber impeller centrifugal pump
located between the upper and lower housing of the
lower unlt. Thls functlons as a displacement pump
at slow motor speeds and as a centrlfugal pump
durlng operation in the higher speedrange. Theqe
are two water inlets in the gear case. During
FORWARD operatlon of the motor, water enters the
slot, equipped
with a screen, located
directly below

exhaustoutlet, and is forced through the cooling sys-
tem, Iater to be discharged at the outlet in the ex-
haust tube provided for this purpose. Water enters
the cooling system through the holes in the watgr
by-pass cover abovethe anti-cavitation plate when
operating in REVERSE. (See
Figure 1 for locations
of cooling system parts.)
NOTE
If, while operating motor at fuII speed, it
should show signs of slowing
down, immedi-
ately check water discharge at'water outlet
(Figure B) located at rear of the motor di-
rectly below cylinder. In case no water is
being discharged, immediately shut off the
motor and check water inlet (Figure 8) for
obstruction. If no obstruction is found, it
may indicate worn pump parts.
REMOVINGMOTORFROM
BOAT
At end of run, with motor running in NEUTRAL,
.close
fuel shut-off valveand
permit motor torununtil
it stops, draining carburetor. Closeair ventscrew
in filler cap. The motor can then be carried with-
out fuel leakage. For safety, always drain fuel
tank before transporting motor. Also drain water
thoroughly as in "Care of Motor in CoIdWeather.
"
When removing motor from boat, lift motor in a
straight upward position and hold thls position for
a brlef period until aII water is drained from the
underwater exhausttube and water cooling system"
Do not stand motor on top or carry with the top down
before draining water, as this may allow water to
enter the power headlrom underwaterexhausttube.
CARI
OFMOTOR
INCOLDWEATHER
The motor will not freeze while in use, but when it
is idle, water in the cylinders or pump might freeze
and damage the motor. Drain by setting the motor in
an upright position and pulling starter cord several
times with speed control grip in STOP position. If
the motor is to be stored during cold weather, be
sure that no water is left in the motor or it may
freeze. (See "Preparation for Storage.
")
SALT
WATER
INSTRUCTIONS
A little time spent in caring for vour motorwhenused
in salt water will aid in not only keeping it in good
running order but help in retaining its finish and ap-
pearance. TiIt the motor out of the water when it is
not in use. At the end oI the day or when not using
the motor for a period of time it is advisable to re-
move lt from the boat anci
to fiush it by running it in
a tank of fresh water. Wipe the motor dry and go
over all parts with an oily cloth. This should be
done as soon as possible after removing the motor
from the boat.
PREPARATIONFOR
STORAGE
No outboard motor should be placed in storage with-
out considerine the necessarv precautions. If motor
Coreol
yourlulotol
is operated in salt water, flush by runningin a tank
of fresh water. Drain and refill gear casewith the
proper lubricant. See
page 5.
Prior to storing the motor, run it for about
one-half
(1/2) rninute in choke
position. Shutoff motor with-
out pushing choke
backto normal position. Purpose
of this operation is to flood the inner parts of the
powerhead with oil (oil in fuel mixture) while in
storage.
Drain all water from the coolingsystem. See
"Care
of Motor in Cold Weather."
Drain all fuel irom fuel tank, gas,.line
andcarbure-
tor.
Under no circumstances should the motor be stored
in an inverted position. It should
be hung
on a rack
simllar to the manner in which it is mounted
onthe
boat. Store in a dry place. Wrap the motor in a
piece of canvas, old blanket, or heavy paper.
PUNING
MOTORINUSEAFTERSTORAGE
PulI off spark plug leads and remove spark plugs.
If rubber spark plug hoods have been removed from
ignition leads, be sure to ground leads to some part
of motor to prevent possibility of spark" (THIS IS
IMPORTANT. ) Spin motor by pulling on starter cord
to remove excess oil from cylinders. Clean spark
plugs, check gap and replace, Install new plugs if
they are cracked, broken, or badly burned. Tighten
all screws and nuts. Check adjustments such as tilt-
ing friction, co-pilot, and carburetor knob.
RUNNINGMOTORINTEST
TANK
1. Do not run motor out of water.
2. Do not "break-in" motor in tank.
3. Remove water by-pass cover (small metal strip
on lower port side of upper pump housing, Figure B).
4. When running in tank be sure gear housing and
propeller are submerged.
5. Do not race motor in tank.
6. Use test propeller when testing motor in tank.
?. Cavitation (air pocket around propeller) may occur
when operating motor in tank with regular propeller.
Motor will then not perform properly or it may race
and be damaged as a result.
MOTORSTHATHAVEBEEN
SUBMIRGED
Precaution shouid be taken to prevent a motor going
overboard (see page 1). However, if a motor has
been submerged, it should be recovered as quickly
as possible.
Since the motor is temporariiy out of working otdet,
do not attempt to operate it until the following pro-
cedure has been used to restore it to service,

Coreol

1. Drain fuel tank by removing fuel tank filler cap
and turntng motor upslde down.
2. Remove
plugat verybottomofcarburetor (item
52,

buretor. Pour enoughfresh fuel into gas tank to re-
move any Wlter from fuel line, by permitting fuel to
run out of carburetor drain p.l.ug
hole (fuel tank shut-
off valve should be open). Whenall traces of water
are removed, replace plug.
3. Remove and dry spark plugs. If rubber spark
plug hoods have been removed, be sure to ground
wlres somewhere on motor. . Lay motor down on
gear shift handle side and crank motor. Turn motor
so that spark plug holes are down and again crank
motor untll no further water is expelled.
4. Check spark by insertlng screw or other small
metal object tnto rubber spark plug hood to make
contact wlth terminal spring in hood and holding
screw about 1/4 lnch lrom cylinder and cranking
motor rapidly. Check spark from both leadwires.
If rubber hoods are not on leadwlres, be sure to
ground one lead while checking the other.
5. Replace all parts removed, fill tank wlth newfuel
mlxture, and start motor. It may be necessary to
clean water from points of spark plugs several times
as there ls a posslbility of small drops of water re-
maintng ln the cylinder, which may short the plugs.
The abovelnstructions are primarily for motors that
have been submerged in fresh water. For motors
submergedin salt water a few additlonal precautlons,
Itsted below, Ery be necessary.
1. Remove carburetor and fuel tank, andwashwlth
fresh water. Dry thoroughly.
2. Remove flywheel, and wash magneto with fresh
water.
3. It is advisabl.eto wash external working parts,
such as the starter 'mechanism, with fresh water
and lubricate. Internal worklng parts are lubricated
by the fuel mixture.
If motor will not operate after the aboveinstructions
have been followed, disassemble and wipe all parts
dry, Coatwlth oil to prevent rust andfollow instruc-
tions under "How to Obtain Service. " (See back
cover.

MAGNETO
It may be necessary occasionally to lnspect the
magneto. If so, it is necessary to remove the gas
tank andflywheel. However, if cleaning or adjusting
of points is required, remove the starter hous-
ing, (seepage
5, "EmergencyStarting") andthethree
screws releasing the starter ratchet and flywheel
cover. Access to the points for cleanlng or adjusting
is possible through the opening on the top of the

POINTS
AJter removing starter ratchet and flywheel cover,
revolve flywheel until opening is directly over
breaker (there are two breakers on this magneto).
Carefully spread points with small screwdri.ver.
Insert pointdresser. (Sandpaper,
fine coil file, nail
file, etc. NEVER USE EMERY CLOTH.) Release
points, work dresser up anddownto smooth. Follow
same procedure with piece of thick smooth paper to
remove traces of foreign particles which might be
left on points.
AJter cleaning, reset point gap to .020 inch maxi-
mum opening as follows: When hole in flywheel is
directly over the breaker, maxlmum opening of the
breaker is obtained. C.heck with .020 inch feeler
gage. If opening
is under or over .020 inch loosen

AIRSILENCER
The air silencer does
notfunction
as a filter, there-
fore it is never necessary to remove it for cleaning
purposes under normal use- Its only functionis for
quiet motor operation.
CARBURETOR
ADJUSTING
NEEDLES
Should the adjusting needles become so Ioose that
the knobs will not remain in a set position, they
can usually be tightened by drawing down on the
packingnuts (item 3, Figure 12).
NOTE
Turn carburetor knobs counterclockwise1/2
turn before tightening packing nuts to prevent
damage to needle seats.
If tightening of the packing nut will not help, it may
be necessarytoreplace thepacking. To replace pack-
ing remove the air silencer, needles, packing
nuts,
washers, and ALL of the old packing. Install new
packing and reassemble.
