![]() ![]() If a new one is inserted at the incorrect angle, it still will not run.įeel free to send me a private message if you have any other questions. When that pops, the motor will no longer run from an external gas tank. Even their carburetors were strange with a little balloon for a fuel pump. The one thing I recall is that the little motors ran well when they ran, but when they stopped, it was easier to take them to the scrap yard than it was to repair them. I had the opportunity to work on a number of these motors in the late 1990’s when I was laid off and needed some income to stay afloat (pun not intended). I actually am guilty of having an "ESKA Toss" many years ago at a Lake Catherine wet meet because it was the only motor that would not anger one of our members when we threw one into the lake (not to worry, we had a rope on each motor and did not leave them in the lake). This forum is probably not the best source for information on the ESKA outboard because nobody that I know collects the Tecumseh powered air-cooled motors from ESKA. Ted williams outboard motor carb parts manuals#The last company that I dealt with that had manuals and parts for the ESKA outboard was Certified Parts Corporation in Janesville, Wisconsin. Rated at 5hp, it is an air-cooled motor however, if it is similar to some I have worked on in the past, there is still a water pump impeller in the lower end that pushes water to the bottom of the powerhead to condense gases and to keep heat from building up under the top cowlings. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort on a motor that is not really popular and most would have dismissed.I am not an expert on your outboard, but I am fairly certain that it is an ESKA outboard manufactured in 1974 for Sears in Canada. I can’t recall if the 4.5 had it but if it is solid state then you need to connect with a man in Danbury CT that is the guru of them – here’s his website: Lastly, starting in the 1970s many of the Eskas used a solid state ignition that was very trouble prone. I take it you’ve adjusted the needle valves and that hasn’t helped? ![]() The only real luck I’ve ever seen with getting them to work correctly was when you could order the whole carb new…. Yes, those carbs are TERRIBLE and that pump is very problematic. The impellers are not easy to find and are quite pricey – eBay may be your best source. And the prop tube won’t work really well in a test tank even if the prop is on there.) If the water splash feature is not functioning, you’ll cook the lower seal and bearing and that may cause some of the problems you are experiencing. (If not then it has a tube aft of the prop for the same job – not having the prop is like not having the water pump. Likely your problems are elsewhere many of those motors had a waterpump in the lower unit that splashed water on the lower crank seal to keep it cool. ![]() I’m no expert on them but I’d say your compression was stellar. Remind me to leave alone the "froze engines"! Too great, causing havoc with it starting and working the impulse Is it possible that my compression is okay, but the piston to cylinder clearance What is optimal compression for these engines? Parts diagrams for Sears outboard model number. I have included the link so that you can review it. ![]() Unfortunately it isnt very clear but it is the only one I could locate. I was able to locate the parts breakdown for this model. It’s a Tecumseh powerhead and carb that has the little bitty Thank you for contacting Sears Parts Direct with your question about your Sears Ted Williams outboard motor. Throttle and choke it briefly to keep to keep it running.Įngine was not overheating that I could tell. a cheap way of doing this if you dont have a spark and compression tester is to prime the cylinder plug and see if she pops for you, if that occurs usually a good carb cleaning and you should be good to go. a spark and compression test will tell you if its worth trying to resurect it. It wanted to die out below half throttle, but sometimes I could give it more Re: Ted Williams 4.5hp your motor is a 1972 and should not be that hard to get running. I could only get it to start in the testīarrel with the prop off. Had to hone cylinder more than I hoped being it was froze up. New rings, engine seals, points, condenser, etc. My uncle gave me this "froze up" outboard and said… "I sure would like to hear it run" ![]()
