Vintage 1946 - 1951 Elgin Outboard Boat Motor 1.25 hp 1 cyl

Description

Based on the serial number, which is 301-12180, this Elgin looks to be a 1.25 hp from the 1946 to 1951 era. It's equipped with a Tillotson carburetor which has the numbers MD1A on it and a lower unit with the numbers 18054 and 1 ALCOA G. I have no idea if it will run or not, but would bet it hasn't been used in many years. When I wrap a cord around the wheel on top and spin the motor I feel what seems like compression and the prop spins. Note that there are two of what appear to be carburetor parts that were in an ancient looking little bag attached to the motor, which are included and which I've photographed. That's about the most I can tell you, so please look at the photos and feel free to ask any questions you might have, as it is sold as-is. I will ship it, or if you're in the area of southeastern Pennsylvania you're welcome to pick it up to save the shipping costs.
