Don't think you'll find many parts for those old DU series motors or drives. I was in the business from 1980- 97 and couldn't find parts then. Basically that's a two-stroke 90HP outboard powerhead laid on its side and hooked to a unique upper gearbox hooked to the lower unit off a outboard. Originally most of them were equipped oil injection but when it failed you just mixed the oil with the gas. During my time as a mechanic we would not even work on them due to lack of parts availability.

> At the beginning of summer I purchased this 90HP Evinrude. It is registered as a 1972, but I think it's a 1966. It wouldn't turn on or anything, it quit working on the previous owner. I knew nothing about this boat or any boat for that matter. I've spent the summer researching and it has led me here. I took out the starter and cleaned it up, replaces the points on it and put it back on. To my surprise it turns over! It tries to start, I am not getting spark. I have checked with tester. Anyone that can help me out? I have done plenty of work on cars and electrical, there is power to the coil, but that's as far as I've taken it. engine code is DU-13EE, where do people get replacement parts? Below are the pictures. 1st picture is one I found on the website and the others are of my boat.
