It's got really strong compression, uses the same recoil starter that the others use, but the cylinder head is perfectly round, has shorter fins, and they run vertical. This one looks different all around, but again, no number plates or stickers. The one 5hp, is probably the ugliest of the lot both because of dents in the tin, a huge cutout to allow the spark plug to be gotten at without pulling off the cover, and some pea green and black paint. The rest of the motor looks abused and corroded like it was stored in a damp place. Both lower units have been heavily painted over.īoth are air cooled, but the Gamefisher has a tank attached to the motor and a cutout for the fill cap. The 7 1/2hp Ted Williams and the Gamefisher look the same, but no numbers are tags are on them. You'll have to call them with your model # in hand but they are very helpful. Don't even bother checking-just replace them!Ĭertified Parts owns the remains of both Eska & Tecumseh so they are the primary parts source. Those chintzy Eska driveshaft & propshaft seals. I may want to talk to you about a carb from the 3 horse models.īoth! Review many of my earlier posts on the subject so I don't have to type it all for the umpteenth time! Drop the lower unit to check engine condition. Probably a rust victim of the Eska L/U seals and ignorance. Great motors but the sheet steel gas tanks can be bad. Try to find more identification under the paint. The West Bend/McCulloch 3 1/2 horse has a powerhead that is similar but uses a different leg & lower unit. Look for a model # and identify it by # at Brix Ent. While Ed Stoller now provides affordable repair service for the Tecumseh CDI ignition I would consider this the 'parts motor' for the one above.Ĭheck compression and concentrate on getting the one with the best in good fettle using parts from the other. This is the 'keeper' since magneto systems are infinitely repairable. What sort of seals need to be checked to be sure these are water ready? Second, do these have any sort of clutch or are they in gear all the time? If they are partly water cooled, where is the pump impeller and how do I get at it? I read through a lot of former posts but am unclear on whether these have water pumps or are 100% air cooled. The others are most likely going to donate parts for the others. I don't really have a use for these but would like to get one of the 5hp motors, and one 7.5hp running just to have. My thought here is that this one will donate it's shroud or fuel tank to the Ted Williams 7.5hp. The Gamefisher 7.5 is seized, it appears stuck somewhere down low, as I can move the motor a bit, but the prop is locked up solid. Its painted over in olive drab and black paint. No points, some sort of electronic ignition).Ģ- Sears 5hp different years, one with huge tank and shroud, the other with a small tank on top and tin skirting around the power head.ġ- Sears 3hp, this was marked 'New 4-16-1973' in white paint on the sideġ- unknown Eska, similar power head to the Sears 3hp but with a larger lower unit and different tin work. They were put up in a barn, of which I purchased all the boating items at auction.ġ- 7.5hp Ted Williams (Has points ignition).ġ- 7.5hp Gamefisher (Same as Ted Williams but with fuel tank under the cover. Most have been repainted, several were most likely in use just prior to storage as four were still clamped onto small boats. The others either lack spark or just won't fire. Two of them run, both that run have no prop. I came across a half dozen old Eska and Sears outboards this week.
