    1973 20 Johnson Exhaust cover leaking water?

    Running a 1973 20 hp Johnson. Got this from a friend, working on it for him. Took the hood off and noticed one of the screws on the exhaust cover is broken off. This has a new head gasket, and cylinder port gaskets. Running it in the barrel, and I'm noticing that there is some drops of water...

    9.9 johnson won't shut off

    Here's the scoop. 1993 9.9 hp Johnson outboard. Starts up and runs perfectly. Once running, can't get the motor to shut off. Kill switch isn't working. So I went through and checked all the grounds. Everything is good there. I have a new powerpack sitting on the shelf, so I decided to swap it...

    9.9 Johnson Powerhead swap

    So, what I have is a 1981 9.9 hp Johnson with bad compression on lower cylinder. I have a 1975 9.9 hp Evinrude as a parts motor, with a good powerhead. Both engines appear basically identical. Will this swap out and work fine? From what I can see it should, can I get a confirmation? Thanks for...

    25 hp Evinrude water pump ?

    Ok, here's the scoop. Just converted a 1975 25 hp Evinrude outboard from a long shaft to a short shaft. Put the new driveshaft, shift lever, bolt, and driveshaft spacer in. Started it up in the tank and runs great, shift functions properly as well. Left the old water pump in there (took this job...

    1988 25 hp Evinrude Lower Unit Question??? Driveshaft

    I am replacing the water pump in the lower unit. I pulled the lower unit off, and pulled the water pump housing off. Now when I removed the plate, I must have accidently pulled up the driveshaft and it popped out. Can it be placed back in just like it came out? Or do I have to pull it apart and...

    25 hp Evinrude dropping out of forward?

    So I recently got my 78 25 hp up and running and everything seems to be good. Got it running nice so I get it out on the lake to try it out. Runs good at low and mid speed, but once it gets going pretty fast, after a little while a sudden thud happens. Feels like i'm hitting a rock or something...

    Moving on to the water pump

    I just replaced the impeller on my 78 25 hp Evinrude because there was no water flow. After installing it and replacing it, I tested in a tank. What I have now is water spraying out of the exhaust holes, but next to nothing out of the pee hole. When I put in in forward and crank it up it will...

    25 hp Evinrude Rough to turn over

    I've got a 1978 25 hp Evinrude Outboard that I recently just got done restoring. It was left on it's side and a mouse had made a nest up through the exhaust holes and all the way to the cylinders. I have just got done with completely ripping it all apart including the powerhead and cleaning it...

    1979 3.5 hp Mariner Parts?

    I've got a little 1979 3.5 hp air cooled Mariner Outboard and I am looking for parts for it. It seems like all the sites i've gone to list most if not all the parts as obsolete. Some of the side cowl and front plastic plate on the cowl on my outboard are busted up and I'm looking to replace them...

    1974 Evinrude Seal Kit

    I bought a lower unit seal kit for my 1974 25 hp Evinrude Outboard, but I'm a little confused as to where all the seals go to. I do have a repair manual, but it doesn't really show where they go. The kit came with 4 seals (two bigger ones and two smaller ones), a couple o rings and the spaghetti...

    3.5 hp Mariner Year?

    I just picked up a 3.5 hp Mariner Model number 642 020197. Can't decide on the year. It looks to me like it might be an early 80's model? It's an air cooled as well... What year is it, and where would I be able to figure this out?

    Sears Eska model fuel pump element?

    I have a 1970 3 hp Sears model 217 58540 made by Eska. I pulled off the carb, and on the back of it there is a slot which is empty. It is the same slot as on my 15 hp Gamefisher, also made by eska where the fuel pump element is located. The difference is, on the sears it is empty. I'm wondering...

    9.5 hp Evinrude gas coming out of exhaust

    I run a 1964 9.5 hp Evinrude on the back of one of my little boats, and I notice when idling, or very slow speeds, a bit of gas is coming out of the exhaust, and I was wondering what would cause that. Am I right to believe it may be the fuel pump? Too much gas being sent in and it getting...
