    78 35HP Evinrude pops about every 20 -40 seconds on idle

    My engine makes a pop sound when on idle, and will die many times then. I replaced the plugs like suggested and started to turn the idle screw to more rich. THis seemed to start to help a little. I tilted the engine up a little to get the fuel pump part # and noticed the carb was about 1/2...

    Evinrude POPS/Misfires

    Evin 35HP 1979 Impeller Problem?

    I have my pontoon out of storage and hooked up the ear muffs with water to the intake of my 35hp outboard. I do not see any water coming out by the propeller shaft like on my neighbors inboard/outboard. Should I be concerned, is this normal?

    Over weekened I started up my 35hp on trailer using muffs with water. Issues 1. I did not see any water coming back out through the propeller area like it was circulating. I thought the water would get sucked in from the muffs at the bottom of the unit over the intake area. I am worried I...
