I, too, knew it was John's B Looper............what threw me off was that it never looked that good when he was out there winning. Looking good, Mr. Schubert.
Hi Tom- Can't say what year, but it is an Evinrude/Elto X.
Ye Olde Desert Geezer :cool:
Al is correct, that is an X and not a 4-60 or pumper. The telltale is the intake from the carb going to the top and bottom additional crankshaft rotary valve ports. Only the X motors have the three rotor sections.
Al and Sam your are correct, it is a Evinrude "X" engine. It was produced only one year.
Any takers on the year?
P.S. - Al send some of that warm weather my wayl. :)
Actually Charlie it did. There also was a cover over the points that was polished, my drive shaft housings were always chromed & the clamp brackets were polished. When I won the nationals in 1968 rather then the merc gear case I used a one tooth under Crescent gear case, also polished. On Monday's after a race weekend, motors came out of the trailer & in to the shop. I then cleaned them using lacquer thinner to remove all residue castor, thus keeping them looking good.
I guess I just wasn't close enough to see how good it looked. Hard to tell from a half a lap back.....................
Well -------------- As stated before, engine #15 is an Evinrude "X" racing engine, It was only produced one year. 1934-1935. Below is a brief history on the engine.
It was Joe Schauer's intention to make a 59.999 ci crankshaft, but he mismeasured something and the cranks produced by his tooling had too much stroke. Since the special throw blocks he made were not usable for the 4-60, an all out monster motor was made to take advantage of the slight differences in the rules between the "F" class and the "X" class
The Evinrude X is 61 ci, not 60 like a 4-60
