1947 5.5hp Elgin outboard motor

By kaphilli1, 8 June, 2012
Description

My Grandfather bought it new in 1947 from Sears Roebuck.  It has been sitting in his garage on a motor stand for many years. All part/bearings still move and the motor will turn over. Needs new spark plug wires and a new pull cord.  Some of the paint has worn off from use around the propeller and on top of the gas can.
