Tomos Tomos outboards were built in Yugoslavia, I believe they were manufactured from the 1960's up to the early 1990's. The terrible civil war Yugoslavia went through in the 1990's forced the company to end outboard production. While not exactly antiques, Tomos outboards interest me since they also made mopeds. In the late 1980's Tomos exported a fair number of these motors worldwide. While the overall design was not bad (at least on the outboards I have seen), many of the individual parts were of dubious quality. And speaking of parts, they were scarce when the outboards were new - today they are completely unobtainable! (So please DO NOT write me asking about where to find parts!!) If you own a Tomos outboard and it doesn't work, you have two choices:
UPDATE!! A viewer of this site in Germany sent me a link for Tomos parts. I can not comment one way or another on this but here it is if you are game: Tomos Germany <----- Thanks Wolfgang! The Tomos Travler outboard I have is like new because it has seen very little use. The magneto died when it was almost new in 1989 and the (Tomos) dealer was unable to get a replacement coil. It sat on his rack until I picked it up, he was overjoyed to get $25 for it rather than toss it! To get it to run I was forced to bodge a magneto together from old Puch moped parts.
