They had no magneto. They required a battery and buzz coil seperate from the motor to make them run. The magneto for outboards was a Johnson invention, and probably the reason Evinrude joined the Johnson brothers to form OMC.

You ever see one of these Olf?
700cc Konig Alky Motor.

You can see the drive belt for the rotory valve behind the carbs.
Ain't no two stroke sounds as good as one of those... Screaming down the straight, w the pipes slid all the way up!
Here's a video.. w good audio. It's a 350cc. The pipes are slid back, for more bottom end outta the turn. If ya listen, you can hear it peak-out when they slide all the way up.

No, that Evinrude isn't mine. That's a high dollar motor right there.


I never got to be around the boys with those Konigs much. They sure sound pretty don't they? When he goes by on the front straight notice that the driver is right up in the nose of the boat. We called that style hydro a cab-over, and it was set up that way to help keep it from blowing over on a long straightaway. Pretty stuff.


They sure have, Huntnfish. What Evinrude did was to establish the style of an outboard motor though, with a vertical shaft motor driving the prop through bevel gears in the foot, and that hasn't changed.
