I just found an old 1956 Evinrude 3hp outboard in near mint condition. I was told it only had about two tanks of gas ran through it, but it hasn't been ran in a veryyyyy long time. What do I need to do to get this running again? It was stored in a non-heated shed, but at least it had a roof over it. The spark plugs were disconnected, and no gas was left in it. Thanks much for any help!
reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.
I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.
If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?
Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess
My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.
Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.
above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out
here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there
here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
