Hey everyone, I recently picked up a 1982 Evinrude 115HP that I was thinking of stripping down and selling the parts off but I might see about putting it into service now...
Not sure what exactly happened yet but I bought the motor with low compression and possibly bad LU for $150
I finally...
Hey everyone, my first time venturing outside of my comfort zone of Johnson/Evinrude (couldn't get away from OMC though!) and picked up decent little 3 horse for free. Model number is GG18735B; just wondering if there's a service/parts manual out there. Thanks in advance!
So I picked up this motor for $40 as-is (seized)
Managed to get it freed up and it felt like it had compression.
It was missing the manual starter and the electric start has some issue (doesn't seem to run at the right speed with the start button)
Also missing the stop button, tiller grip...
Hey everyone, long time no see!
I've finally cycled back into working on outboards and picked up a mostly complete but seized 1983 Johnson 9.9, model J10SELCTC for $40.
I was able to free up the motor and I'm just trying to go over what the motor needs but thought for giggles let's see what...
Hey everyone; I'm hoping someone could help me; I've got a 1975 115 'rude and a 1976 135 and was wondering if they had the same intake and exhaust porting and if the difference was only in the bubbleback exhaust and carbs?
In summary; will the 135 bubbleback exhaust and carburetors turn the 115...
Hey everyone, I've got a 1981 140HP that I just picked up; when I bought it from the guy he gave me a bit of a back story, long story short he found water in the #3 cylinder and a mechanic apparently tried shaving the heads and replacing the head gaskets but the guy was still getting water. I...
Hey everyone, I've got a 1984 90HP VRO pump (First Generation) that I managed to break the oil inlet nipple off of; I'm unsure if this is a part that can be replaced or not; if anyone has a part number that'd be great!
Hey everyone, I'm going to look at what seems like a decent deal tomorrow, the motor in the title but it has a cracked LU. I'm going to do a compression test on it before I make an offer and if that looks good I'm going to go for it. Is there anything I should look at aside from compression? I...
Alright so we've finally got the motor in pieces and I've melted away all the aluminum in the cylinder... What should my cylinder bore be (pistons are already .020)? And with new rings what should my ring gap be?
I know, "Get a factory service manual", I just can't find a reasonably priced one...
Since the wires for my 1978 Johnson trim/tilt motor were cut about 2 inches from the engine mount bracket and I didn't get a relay box for it, I decided to use a 1987 era trim tilt unit I happened to have sitting around that I do have the relay box for. After looking at schematics for it I'm...
Hey guys, long time no see! Just thought I'd come by and say hi. I didn't even get the boat in the water this summer, too busy with work! Anyways, I finally got a motor to replace the 1970 115 Evinrude I've got (Ignition system made me nervous and last time I launched her and started it refused...
So, I didn't know the shape of my motor when I bought it last year (1970 115 Evinrude), I sourced out some Premium blend oil and I just wanted you guys to see how the oil looked.
Should I have changed it?:lol:
Soooo... I started looking at another of the 8. Checked compression, mid 70s in each cylinder, the coils look near new (haven't checked for spark yet. Needs new condensers.) I dropped the LU and the only things I didn't like were some pitting in the pump housing and there's a bushing at the top...
Alright old motor guys, I'd appreciate if you would chime in.
Simple enough question... Would a TD20 carburetor fit a TN28? (they look amazingly similar) annnnd I would think that a TN27 carb would also fit...
And I know Lloyd is floating around here, if I could get his contact info for some of...
