Finally got the 73 evinrude 135 hp engine overhauled.

I made sure the key was good, impeller is new, made sure the plastic sleeves to the tubes were connected in...

Hello,

I removed the four by-pass covers on the crankcase while disassembling a 1973 evinrude 135 hp. 3 of them look the same 1 is different. I do not remember what ones came from where. Does it matter if I put them back in the wrong spot. Could anyone give me any tips to figure out how to put them...

I drained the oil and removed the lower unit on a 1973 evinrude 135 hp. The oil draining at first was thick and slightly milky looking. The rest draining out was not as thick and light brown. I changed the oil out 2 months ago, but had to do it again do to rebuild.
Is this normal? If not...
I had an overheating problem with the top 2 cylinders. I want to make sure that water is circulating through the block and getting to the top cylinders. The motor is a 1973 evinrude 135 hp.
To my knowledge so far, there is no pee-hole by the exhaust and the water exits down by the prop. If...
Pretty inexperienced, but learning a lot quick.
I just got done taking apart the motor and noticed that the top two pistons in the block had been scratched up a little on the sides. There was no damage to the rings. The top right piston or cylinder #1's piston top is somewhat melted or...
Hello,
I am not sure if the lower unit takes a special oil since it is so old. It is a 1973 evinrude 135 hp outboard. Is there a certain type this lower unit needs different from todays standard oil in lower units?
