Finished with my first complete restoration of this 1960 Neptune Mighty Mite 1.7hp motor. It was a great project to pass the time this winter and now I only have 6 more to restore most are 1930's models. My wife thinks I have too many hobbies:confused: anyway here are some before and after pics.
Wow that looks great.
Gotta love a hobby like that. Looks great, Mike.
Nice work!!
Thanks guys, it sure was fun researching and hunting for parts to complete it. When I found it, there was no spark and the piston was stuck on it. I found a new coil and replaced the spark lead and broke the piston free, honed out the cylinder and it will now run. Check out the add for the motor it costs that much just to fishing for a day now:rolleyes:
that's awesome! Gotta love those older motors.
Really nice work Mike!:)
Wow, that is too cool. Great job. I have an old 1956/57 7.5 hp Elgin outboard that my grandfather used to use, it hasn't been started in prolly 20 years or more. Seeing your good work makes me think it may be a fun project to get that old motor running and looking good again. Thanks for sharing.
WOW Gator that looks great, very nice job on the restore!
Excellent Work My Friend Where Are The Minners??
