    Spare parts for a thirty year old. :) They last well if looked after don't they. Great engines.
    Your best bet would be Cyril at Greene Marine in Harolds Cross. He was an evinrude/johnson dealer going way back, and would have more parts for them than most.

    I have a propellor for a 6hp from the same era, it might fit yours. It is however a 2 blade one rather than a 3 blade one, not that it makes much difference.

    I'm digging this out. I got the engine back from service. The guy replaced the 2 coils, cleaned the carb, changed the spark plugs and gave it a run. When i took it back home it went for a trial on the lake. The engine starts ok but 3 minutes after goes down and stops completely. I restart the engine and it runs for less and finally doesn't start at all ... :mad: it pumps water all right so i was wondering if i was doing something wrong with the starter and might feed too much in petrol ...

    any experience with this engine ? It's an Evinrude 4 HP 2 cylinders from 1983.
