I recently bought this old Elgin 12 outboard motor. Bought it from a gentleman who said its been in storage for 35 years. Luckily, they stored it properly with some oil, and after a little tune up, it seems to run pretty good. I am assuming it is a 1960-1963 outboard. The serial number plate is completely worn away. I changed the fuel lines and lower unit oil. Seems to be running really well for an old engine. I would like to figure out what year it is, what its model number is, and try to find a manual for it.
Any suggestions on maintenance before I fire it up for the Spring fishing season.
