I love this thing. What a fun little guy.

that is an awesome little motor. it looks great. That would be a pain in the butt if you actually wanted to use it on a regular bassis. I mean the way you have to start it.

hi; what process do you use to polish the aluminum ? thanks , tom

Great demonstration. I’ve seen others run once on a boat.
There was a light breeze and it was more than the motor
could over come. The patients of the operator along with
his ability to understand what the motor needs is the key to
running any finicky motor. The reward is accomplishing
what others say can’t be done. Congratulations.

You have a great collection of old outboards and a wealth of knowledge on them. Your restoration work is beautiful and they all seem to run very well also. Would you consider compiling a DVD of your 20+ videos as downloading all of the 8minute+ videos is costing me a small fortune in internet access, when I want to watch them over and over.

The spark plug in these is a very short 3/8" item, the one in my Clarke Troller isn't branded and other Lodge and Champion plugs I have found are too long & won't fit under the cover. The closest I have found is made by AC & is available from Green Sparkplugs in the UK. I think I recognise the spark plug shown in outboardmotormans video as one made by Napco in the US, contact Paul Napco on Napco-ltd@q.com & he will send you his list of spark plugs with dimensions hope this helps

Hi I am in Australia and have a Clarke Troller myself, although the later version. I have had an article published on these and have to date identified nine of them here in Australia, some "A" models like yours and some later models like my Clarke. My motor and one other are still in running order. I will have to make and upload a video of My Clarke as there is relatively little information to be found on these on the internet.

You are right these little outboards are a pain
