    Evinrude 70hp power pack

    My 1994 Evinrude E70TLERV 70hp had the water pump go bad and the engine over heated. I changed the water pump and the engine starts and idles fine, but under load it misses real bad. A local mechanic looked at it and said my power pack is bad. It has a crack and a hole on the back side of the...

    Motor won`t stop running!

    Started my boat for the first time this season. Last year it would idle rough and die all the time. Not good when your trying to dock it! I took it to the local marina last year several times, they didn`t fix it. I thought I would install a new power pack this season and see if that fixes it...

    86 90 h.p. Johnson idles rough through midrange

    A little history about this motor. I bought this boat this spring from a local dealer, it was a trade-in from an older couple that bought it new in 86. When I took it for a ride the first time it would idle rough and kept stalling. I checked compression and number 1 cyl. was low and the spark...

    adjusting carb floats on 86 90 h.p. Johnson

    I am rebuilding the carbs on my 1986 Johnson 90 h.p.. I bought the carb kits then found out i need a 324891 guage to set the float. Does anyone know how to set the float without the guage?

    cylinder compression for 86 90 h.p. Johnson

    I have a 86 90 h.p. Johnson outboard. It idles rough and dies at idle. I checked compression and three cylinders have 100 lbs. and one has 70 lbs. I`m guessing the cyl. with 70 lbs. is causing the problem but is 100 lbs. good for the other three?
