Popper

Popper is a 1938 Neptune 1-1/2 horsepower outboard motor. Then engine is a watercooled two-stroke It is made out of brass and aluminum and so beautifully made it is like a work of art. I need to find some time to polish it all up but if you look on the web there are several places that sell these old "skeletal" outboards all polished up for THOUSANDS of dollars.

I bought Popper at a tag sale for $20. No missing parts, great compression and spark, in excellent un-restored condition. I invested $5 to make it run.

The name Popper refers to the sound that this tiny engine makes when it runs. It goes Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop......

(picture soon)

Cheers!
