TOPIC: THE LAST OF THE 40HP OMC BIG-TWINS

THE LAST OF THE 40HP OMC BIG-TWINS 9 years 3 months ago #114480

Friends,

I got an email today from a boarding-school chum, who asked me the following question, which I had NO answer to: "What year was the last year the Johnnyrude 40-horse BigTwins had points, condensers & coils?"

I told "Bob" that I would ask our REAL EXPERTS, as one or more here will KNOW.

yours, satx

ed-mc,

THANKS. - I just KNEW that someone would KNOW the correct answer.
(I suspect that "Bob", like me, doesn't want a "modern outboard" for his fishing boat, as the newer OB motors are NOT easy/cheap to be owner maintained. = Even a "tinkerer" with a repair manual, a few screwdrivers & wrenches, like me for example, can maintain/repair an "old school" BigTwin.)

ed-mc,

I got an email from my buddy a few minutes ago. He said to "Give your friend a huge THANK YOU for me."
(Done, as promised.)
