Question:
I just bought a boat with an Evinrude (pull-start) 40 hp engine and would like to know the model. Where is the model number located? And can anybody tell me the oil/petrol ratio used in two stroke engines of this vintage?
Also, do these engines have a charging system that I can hook up a battery to (to run the boat lights off)?

The model # is located on the port side of the transom bracket. It is also located on the engine (block), not head, in the shape of a freeze plug, NOT a freeze plug ! It's about the size of a nickle. It could be silver or painted. 40502, 40503, 40562, 40563, 40572, 40573 would indicate a 1965. Find the # and I'll let you know what year it is. The owners manual states a 40 to 1 mix ratio for early 65's but 50 to 1 of TCW-3 will be just fine. That's 1 pint to 6 US gallons of gasoline. If I'm not mistaken your 40hp was equipped with the charging kit. I know that the smaller engines were not, in the rope start.at how big ? does a boat become a ship?
the number are stamped into the housing by the lift pivot pointon the left side of the motor,not sure but i think that one should be 40/1,depending on size it may have a charge circuit,when you find the serial number call a dealer,the first two digites should be the yearShip designers! answer me this please!?
The engine model number is located on a plate just below the cowling on the mid-section. It can also be found stamped on the frost plug on the powerhead. If its a pull start its unlikely to have a charge system, you would need to get an up-grade kit from your dealer. Oil ration for all Johnson/Evinrude engines is 50-1More Questions & Answers ...
