i have tried to connect a regular ignition switch on subject motor. The switch has two “m” post on it..I understand that if I connect a wire from each set of points (on the same lug that the condenser attaches to) to each of the “m” lugs on the switch it will shut the engine down. I guess what...
i hope it is within protocol to start a new thread on the crankshaft seal replacement on subject motor. The advice that I have received so far has been outstanding. So, I replaced the upper seal with no problem. Because this is one of those motors that has the lower seal problem and the seal...
I am making progress on this motor.....one step forward hopefully only 1/2 step backwards......over the weekend motor ran great, started easily, carb dialed in, no problems. Took it home and it sat in the garage overnight and in the morning noticed oil coming down out of the cowling.....took a...
i have been hunting for a shop manual for a 25hp 1955 evinrude. A real manual not an aftermarket one - is there such a thing? I have found ones beginning in model years 1956 but nothing prior. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
With all the advice I have received over the last couple of months the motor is running great. I have one small problem/question. I put a ignition switch on it that is supposed to shut the motor down by connecting each set of points together which I understands grounds them out and kills the...
I am in need of some expert opinions/direction relative to subject motor. Got the motor running after rebuilding carb, new ignition components, new seals in the lower unit and a new impeller. Took it to the lake today and got it started with mo problem but saw no evidence of water pumping.....I...

It has been a year since I took the carb off my 1955 evinrude 25hp outboard and now it is time to put it back together but guess what I do not remember how it all goes back. I should have taken a bunch of pictures but didn’t thinking I would get it back together in short order but then Irma...
this is probably a stupid question but here goes...on the subject vintage control box which handle is the shift and which is the gas??? I thought I knew but when I went to put it together after a very long restoration period the cable ends were opposite to what I thought were correct. Also...
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the yamaha diagnostic software and cables available on eBay. Was thinking about buying one set if they worked and if they would not screw something up on the engine. Thanks for your inputs, Cliff
I have a 2013 yahama 225 HP 4 stroke. I am considering installing a water quick connect between the small hose that one uses when flushing the motor after each use. Has anyone done this? Any problems that I should consider. Normally you just screw a normal garden hose to the engine but...
I have a very nice clean 5.5 evinrude. I decided to get it going after a number of years being idle. My notes tell me that it has new plugs, coils and impeller installed about 10 years ago but then never used the motor. Checked the spark..ok. Rebuilt carb and ran in tank ok. Put on boat and...
I need some help....I am in the process of buying a 1959 evinrude lark......the model number indicates that is is a long shaft.....35517.........when the seller measured from the bottom of the bracket to the cavitation plate it was close to 19 inches. I looked at a picture of a 1959 lark that...
