    Idle Problem?

    I have a 1985 115 Evinrude, and it will only idle for about five minutes and then dies. Is this normal with a two stroke? The engine runs fine and stays running when it is at or above 1,000 RPM. Thanks

    No Oil!

    How long can an engine run without oil? The reason I ask is because I started my 1985 115 Evinrude the other day and did not notice the VRO hose had somehow come disconnected, it ran for about five-ten minutes. It still runs fine, and the compression is 124, 122, 129, 122 which is about the...

    Ignition Coils

    The ignition coils on my 1985 115 Evinrude have some small cracks in the soft rubber in the coil. Can this make the ignition weak or affect the performance? I am having some starting problems.
