I have a "project" motor that I am working on and I'm fairly certain that I need new a new coil on one side (burned casing) and probably points, etc. My problem now become how to get parts for it. I cannot locate ANY identification #'s on the outboard. None on the block, freeze plug, upper or...
Hello all.
I am working on a Evinrude 40hp WorkTwin, year unknown. The "year unknown" is my first set of problems. I have searched this motor top to bottom and can find no serial/model etc. I have searched the web for hours and found NO MENTION of a 40hp WorkTwin motor, so I have no clue what...
Hello again to all.<br /><br />Cooling System question for '76 35hp Johnson:<br /><br />Should I have a "pee hole" on this outboard or does it discharge the water elsewhere? The only sign of water coming from the housing that I see is from a slot just above the water line. I have steam and some...
I acquired in trade a 40hp Evinrude WorkTwin, long shaft, with electric start. I am now trying to get the motor up and running (deer season is over) and I CANNOT locate a Serial#, stamped or plate. I believe it is 80's model but without some numbers I cannot get parts. Can photos of the motor be...
I searched the boards but couldn't find ab answer so.......... I have a 1976 35hp Johnson that has a slight miss at slow idle and more pronounced as I move the throttle up, When I get to about 1/4 throttle she "opens" up and runs fine at mid to WOT. Anybody know what the probable culprit is?<br...

I have an old '76 35HP Johnson (electric start) that I want to install a water temperature gauge or alarm on. It does not have any type of sensor, gauge or alarm on it now so I'm starting from scratch. I can install a gauge or horn but haven't a clue how or where to install the sensor. I see...
I know s this sounds stupid but I just gotta know.<br /><br />Just inherited a 1976 35 HP Johnson and am finding out that it's much different than my 140hp Evinrude. Was told the water pump didn't work on the 35hp so I just put a new impeller in. Everything seated well when I put her back...
Have a 1976 35HP Evinrude that I cannot get water pumping through correctly. The water pump has been changed twice (impeller is fine) but I still cannot get water pumping through the system. Is there another possible cause for this?<br /><br />Thanks for your advice.
