4.5 hp Sears Ted Williams Eska - Model 217.Gets me out to the mooring a lot quicker, although the row is long - it can be enjoyable too in some conditions. She is running pretty nice for an old single stroke(33 lb) motor, sometimes starting on the first few pulls. The lower cover I currently do not have on, mainy due to how hard it is to spray gas/oil mix in a pinch into the carburetor with it on. Blue and white exterior with gray inside-Keel protector-New seats-1975 Mercury 9. I rebuilt the carburetor with parts (Carb Kit DI-52030) from I replaced the black gas line with a clear line and have an inline fuel filter which I highly recommend. Sale includes trailer-Boats is made of fiberglass.
#Ted williams outboard motor parts manual
Anyone else working on one of these?Īfter reading through a manual snagged off of Ebay, I found that the recommended gas to oil mixture is 24:1, replaced the spark plug(manual calls for Champion J13Y, I used substitute Champion RJ14YC), recut the high tension lead wire and rebooted the spark plug cover. With some starter fluid, was able to start the engine for a few seconds until it burned up(note: better to spray gas/oil mix from old spray bottle, as starter fluid doesn't have required oil lubrication) - Next steps will be cleaning/rebuilding the carb, and possibly cleaning some carbon off the cylinder head and replacing the head gasket if I can find the part. First steps - drain old gas, clean or replace fuel lines, make sure spark plug is working correctly, and check compression.
It is a two-stroke, and a great introduction to working on outboard motors for me. Types of parts include head gaskets, water pump impellers, starter gears, spools, springs, fuel pump repair kits, and ignition coils.
