TOPIC: Champion outboards

Does anyone know much about Champion outboards? I got a Champion with my SkiMate, I was told it was a 5hp but all of the stampings say 4K which I believe is the 7.9 hp. Can't find much info inline.

There's a good bit of info in the FG Library on them Dave, have you checked it out yet?

Dave,
You are correct, the 4k is rated at 7.9 h.p. at 4200 rpm.
I can make you a copy of the 0perating and parts list if you wish.

I downloaded the carb and magneto pdfs from the library after I posted this. I'm sure they'll be a big help.

Gil, I'd love to have a copy. This is my first outboard so I'll take all the info I can get. I'll send you an email. Thanks!
