I have a 1985 glastron ssv176 with a dead evinrude 140hp. I am looking to buy a used outboard. I want a 4-stroke but only have about $3,500 to spend. Would a 50hp be enough to push a 1000lbs boat? I only use it for fishing. Thanks
My 1984 evinrude v4 140 has low compression in #2 and has no power. I bought it last summer and have used it about 20 times. By the marks on the heads it looks like it has been rebuilt before. I found a motor at a shop near by that is a 1987 Johnson 110 v4 for $1500 installed with my old motor...
I have a 1984 Evinrude v4 140 that has low compression in cylinder #2. The other three are around 100 lbs and the #2 is at 30 lbs. I installed a new head gasket but that didn't help the compression much. Will it hurt to run the motor like this. I don't push it hard and mostly fish in the harbor...
Hi, I have a 1984 Evinrude v4 140. Model number is e140tlcrd. I was out fishing last week and it kept getting harder to start as the day went on. As we were heading into the harbor it sounded real muffled and was running like crap. I bought a compression tester and checked it today. I had 100...
I pulled the vro pump Out of the resrvoir on my 84 evinrude v4 140 today to empty the tank. The foam screen looking thing came out in pieces. Can I still use it without this?
I have a 84 v4 140hp. I installed a trolling plate and now it smokes really bad when the plate is down. When I run it without the plate it smokes a little and when I run it on the hose there is almost no smoke. The smoke is white/grey. I got the trolling plate because it idled too fast to troll...
Took my boat out Tuesday and the exhaust smoked most of the day. It's a 1984 evinrude v4 140. It normally smokes a startup but goes away after it's warm. I trolled most the day and never got to open it up because of speed restrictions on the lake. The only thing different is that I installed a...
What effects would a 1/4 inch fuel line to the primer bulb have on my 1984 evinrude v4 140hp? I found this today and replaced it with the proper 3/8 fuel line. Could this be why my plugs were getting oil fouled and the motor idled like crap?
In late November I rebuilt the carbs on my 1984 evinrude v4 140. After the installing it started right up on the muffs and seemed to run good. I have not had a chance to get it in the water til next week. So the other day I started it on the muffs and it ran good until I put the startup lever...
While rebuilding my carbs I found one of them is missing a high speed orifice. After taking one side out I flipped it over and the other was not there. What would this do to how the motor runs? Thanks
I have a 1984 evinrude v4 140hp. The last few times out I have been doing alot of trolling and my motor keeps dying. I replaced the plugs which were oil soaked and fouled. But I still have the same problem. Motors sounds like it is gasping at idle speeds then dies. Any suggestions on where to...
I have two props for my 1984 Evinrude 140hp v4. One is a 13 3/4 - 15 and the other is 14 - 17. Which one would be better for trolling for trout? Thanks
I have 1984 evinrude v4 140hp. The tach slowly rises to past the max rpm at all speeds. Motor runs good but I have no idea of where to start looking at the tach. Any suggestions on where to start?
I want to install two rod holders on my 1985 Glastron. The problem is that the rails are filled with foam and I have no way to put a backing plate on the mount. Will something like a drywall anchor work on fiberglass with foam backing it? I plan to troll with these holders so they need to be...
