The motor only cost $60, but I'm not ready to throw it away if the fix is relatively easy/inexpensive.

7.5 ted williams outboard motor impeller manual#
I got a manual for the 1971 model motor off of ebay that has diagrams for disassembling the motor and maintaining it. Any ideas where to start looking for this problem? Williams National Oceanic and Atmospheric. It would leak even when the motor was not running. Oceans 88 : a partnership of marine interests : proceedings : Baltimore. It has 15 HP outboard (brand-new water pump and propeller this year), trolling motor, newer deep.

Any ideas how to fix the problem or find replacement parts? Should I just sell this motor for parts and find a new used one?Īlso had a problem of the motor having a small gas leak in the upper section when the gas tank line was connected. 1990 14 foot Sears Gamefisher boat and trailer for sale. He also said that parts are hard to find. Took it to one boat repair shop and the old guy said it would cost more to get parts and have him fix it than the motor is worth. I'm thinking the water pump went out on the run and maybe messed up something else in the process, but I have no idea what. It almost turned over a couple of times when I tried to start it today. The motor ran well for about 6 trips, then on a long run, it overheated and was smoking a little after I shut it down. I'm new to boat motors and not mechanically inclined. Thanks.Hopefully it will be helpful to others here also.I just bought a 1973 model 7.5HP sears ted williams outboard. Thanks for the Eska link.I was aware of the company being the maker of this era Sears outboards but I did not have a parts link if I needed it. Today while cutting the grass I took a break for a few minutes and I fired up the outboard motor.First pull with the choke closed it sputtered to life for a second or two.Each suceeding pull I opened the choke a bit more until pull 4 or 5 it ctarted and stayed running.I got it set and put the motor on a low speed idle and let it run about 15-20 minutes with very little smoke,less than some standard type motors I've seen.It restarted easily after it was warmed up.Maybe in the next few weeks I can get out on the lake. I learned about the shear pins the hard way last year.First time out in the boat I had a mile and a half paddle back to the boat landing after hitting a stump at a very low speed.Now I have 4 pins in my tackle box.

Yep,as noted mine is a bit "buzzy".Vibration and a bit louder than a regular outboard.I'm wondering if I can find a gel or rubber handle cover to place on the hard tiller handle.Maybe a bit of foam pipe insulation and a zip tie.I'm also thinking about some type of rubber covering for the transom clamps. However, it worked fine and was dirt cheap.

Mine was low-end so you needed to keep a supply of shear pins with you. The two major problems were noise and vibration - a half hour with your hand on the handle and it let you know it was there. Last year I bought a small boat that came with a 7.5 hp Ted Williams outboard (basically a tecumseh mower engine). Once the engine was warm I turned it off a few times and it restarted easily.Hopefully I'll get out on the water in the next week or so. I took the motor and put it in a barrel of water and started yanking on the pull rope.Once I got the tank(filled with 32:1 mix) pressurized I sprayed a bit of starting fluid near the carb and got it fired up.Played with the choke and lean-rich setting and got it idling pretty good,put it in gear let it run about 45 minutes on a low setting.I ran it up on "fast" as marked on the tiller handle and it seemed to develop a "skip" and I backed off the throttle.Anyone have any ideas about this "skip"? I replaced the plug with an AC R45S which is the modern version of the recommended plug and gapped to.

017.No wonder it was hard to start and seemed to burn rich.(from my research that plug in no way applies to this motor) I tried to measure the gap on a gapping disc and the disc would not fit on the lowest end. I pulled the motor out today to give it a tune up.I drained out the stinky dark black oil out of the foot and refilled with Pennzoil Marine Lube.Pulled out the spark plug(a NGK CS5) and took a look at it.black and sooty with almost no gap.No kidding.

Last year I bought a small boat that came with a 7.5 hp Ted Williams outboard(basically a tecumseh mower engine).I took it out a few times,probably less than 3 hours use in total.A series of family emergencies put an end to my fishing last year.The motor ran okay, a bit buzzy and hard to start.I'm used to Evinrudes and Mercury,never had an air cooled before this.
