cutting that piece of crankshaft off that mated to the lower unit shaft, really made this alot simpler to do.

made me a outboard motor, Briggs/Evenrude
Do you have any pics of your throttle set up? Also does the reverse/froward still work?
Slabmaster II
yes the rev/forward works. smooth as butter. was surprise for being 60 yrs old.Originally Posted by tcounty
i'll shoot you a pic of the throttle in a bit.

i just put a simple push/pull throttle on, since all i use the stock tiller handle for is to tilt motor up & down.
i use a longer tiller handle i made for it, and i remove it when i'm not running the motor. so i can't use a throttle on a tiller handle.

That is some sweet innovation there!!! LOVE IT!! Makes me wonder what the v-twin off my lawnmower would do!
You could even run your exhaust down into the water if you wanted. Would be next to silent then. How does it push the boat? As in getting it up out of the water. Does it have any trouble?
I would love to see a link pop up here with a video. Anyone else like to see that?!?
Great job! Thanks for sharing it with us!

sorry, video not going to happen.
it has lots of torque. power is not a issue...

put this motor in the water 150 times this year, worked flawlessly. it worked better then i would have thought.
i removed 3 screws and took the gas tank off, then removed 3 bolts and took the motor off the lower unit. then i was able to bring motor in the house for the winter. that was easy...
I just read your thread and I have to say, your conversion came out looking awesome. It's the cleanest briggs/outboard conversion I've seen. I just put together my own using a 6.5 hp briggs and a 1968 Evinrude 6hp lower end which looks exactly like yours. From the looks of your pictures your boat is a 12', correct? My motor is mounted on a 10 ft Starcraft aluminum boat. It's good to hear that yours has been reliable. I was wondering what you do for top speed?
