1958 evinrude fastwin restoration Posted by fergal butler
Not that many of you will ever change an old outboard from a pressurised fuel tank to a standard one but if you do this is how to go about it. When you remove the intake manifold you will see two rubber check valve that go into the each crankcase chamber these send positive air down to the fuel tank.  Remove the valves and block up one of the holes, I used a vacuum line cap and cut it long enough so that when I put the manifold back on it will be held in place.  The other hole will give you the right amount of pulse pressure to work one of these a "pulse pump" so now instead of the hose going to the tank you connect it to the pump and that should now send the fuel to the carb. 
Just some of the 20 different parts primed and painted. It will be getting new spark plugs      The hood has 3 colours and each one has to be fully dry before it can be masked for the next one at the moment it has the dark and light blue so just the white left to do on it along with the prop and one of the latches I will then add the decals and lacquer over it. 
Respect.  Reminds me I need to get back to building more RC scale WW2 warbirds (eg P51, Harvard, B25, Ju88)
Quote: The last one I build was a spitfire from the de agostini magazine my heart broke with missing issues and what started off at €1 soon ran into a small fortune  I have never flown her as I crashed my last build a piper cub  so she hangs in my sons bedroom till the day I pick up the courage. I still think she looked better before I put on the heat shrink film such a shame to cover up all that wood  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/05/2012 12:11 by fergal butler.
