I am working on an older Evinrude 9.5,approx 1970,with the old downdraft carb.
The motor runs fine for only a few minutes and then runs out of fuel.If I run the motor and keep the bulb pumped constantly it runs fine,and keeps running.
I have change the tanks and hose assembly several times and...
I am working on a 115 twostroke motor that will not idle correctly.
C115TLRY
The motor appears to have a mind of it's own.When I start it,it will idle at around 850 RPM and then for no reason it will jump to 2000 RPM and then down to 400 RPM.
It bounces around for no reason,or at least no...
I am working on a 1987 90 hp yamaha 2 stroke.
It was missing on the botton 2 cylinders.When I choked both of the cylinders, they would fire.
I rebuilt all three carbs and started the motor.It sounds better,but it does not sound right.It kicks every so often and will stall.
I checked the...

Said the motor had no power and he thinks it "went".This motor is a 1999 and well used but not so well serviced.

Does it make sense to...
Has anyone else been having problems with "new" fuelline bulbs and setups ?
I must have had a 50% defective rate in the new units over the past 6 months.Most will not pump up,some once you squeese it ,it will not expand back so you can squeese it again.
Is it just me,or is everyone having the...
I have been working on a 1992 Evinrude that was kind of dropped in my lap to get running.Ugh.It had been sitting for some time and I was asked to mount it on the boat.
Mounting the motor was easier than getting it running.Ugh.After rebuilding the two carbs,I did manage to get the motor...
I just rebuilt a 9.8 merc using a new kit.I soaked the carb in an untrasonic cleaned and rebuilt it and now I cannot seem to adjust the carb correctly.

I am working on a 2001 OX225 that had overheated recently.
After unseizing the motor I found that the remote oil tank had been run dry and the motor had overheated due to lack of oil,not a water problem as I had been informed.
Since I had the boat apart I removed the remote tank and found the...
