I have my fathers very old Champion outboard motor. I don't know the year, but it is single cylinder with the visible flywheel on top. Doubles as the rope starter. The decal with oiling, starting and running instructions on the side of the gas tank is mostly rubbed off and gone.

A History Of The Scott-Atwater Outboard Motor Company. In 1941 Scott and Atwater with their CHAMPION outboards were the second largest outboard manufacturer in America. Only Evinrude was larger. This relationship with DuMonte and the CHAMPION outboards lasted until 1942. World War II forced most machine shops to shift to doing military work. Champion Spark Plug. Outboard Motor Repair Manuals. Chrysler outboard manuals. Mercury Outboard Serial Number Guide Mercury outboard parts.

Can anyone help with information about this engine (oil/gas ration, start/run instructions, and what the large lever with the button on it that goes underneath the flywheel is)? I can get the serial number off the motor later if that is needed to figure the year out.

I have had no luck finding service information for this engine online besides the Old Outboard Book and an old engine forum that isn't free. Any information to help get me started would be appreciated!

Re: Champion outboard, old. Thanks for replying, steelespike and tmcalavy. The number stamped on the motor is S1D10189. Here are some pics of the motor. Any information is appreciated. The motor has compression and what looks like an original spark plug (Champion 7, Made In USA).

The clothesline rope tied to the left side lift handle is dad's original pull-start rope. The piston moves freely and the motor was always dry stored in our garage. Thanks again for offering to kick in and help, guys.

His oldest is the model 1J, 4.2hp, 1946-47.

You better go to on this one.
