    1982 Evinrude 9.9 tiller handle throttle help

    Sorry for my confusion. As usual, you are correct. I believe I used a 1/4 lag bolt very lightly turned into that pin to remove it. I'm going by memory and racerone has a lot more knowledge/experience than I. In any case, those parts should turn with almost no resistance once you get them cleaned up.

    1982 Evinrude 9.9 tiller handle throttle help

    Once you get the vertical piece off 109 will slide up and off. Nothing mechanical is holding it as far as I remember. Pay attention as 109 needs to stay in sync with the tiller gear. If I remember there are little dots on the plastic that need to align. If it's too tight to remove soak it all...

    evinrude serial # site

    Some years ago I called Evinrude customer support 847-689-7090 and gave them the numbers on a couple of motors I had. One Evinrude one Johnson. They called back a couple days later with all the information on both including the model numbers. The info I gave them was a number stamped on a silver...

    Johnson 50 won’t exceed 2k rpm under load

    The roller racerone mentioned will, when missing,cause your engine to run slow under load. Mine shredded off on my 40 hp in August and I couldn't go more than 7mph when normal is 25mph at full throttle. The little clear tube your missing affects the timing advance. Once replaced my engine...

    1995 Johnson 40 hp

    Hello all. I want to pressure test the above motor gear case. I noticed a tiny bit of milky oil when l resently was getting it ready for winter storage. I drained it completely and found the initial drainage was contaminated but only a very little. The rest of the oil (probably 95%) looked...

    1995 40HP Johnson J40ELEO Running Slow

    Hello all. I'm having problems with the above engine. It has been a great engine. Yesterday I went out and it would not plane the boat and only reached about 8 mph. Normal full throttle gets me 25 mph. I don't have a tach gauge but the rpm is way down from normal at full throttle. Prop looks...

    1995 40 HP Johnson VRO alarm

    Hello All. I've been running this engine for a number of years. This year I have had the no oil alarm sound a hand full of times (beeps at about one second intervals). It has only alarmed at idle, never when rpm's are higher. So far to silence the alarm all I've had to do is squeeze the oil...

    2012 2.5 hp 4 stroke gains speed while trolling

    Hello to All. My son bought this motor new in 2012. Has had little use but always has run very well until today. This was the first time being used this season. I would set the throttle for a troll speed of 2.0 mph and it would start at that but then start to gain speed and rpm all on its own...

    1984 Evinrude 9.9 over cooling

    Hello. Just replaced the thermostat and gasket due to engine not getting up to temperature. New thermostat didn't make a difference in operating temperature though. Just went over the whole motor carb kit, impeller, leg oil etc. Starts good, runs well but I've only ran in a barrel haven't hooked...

    Installing CMC PT130

    Hello all. I hope I've picked the correct forum. I'll be installing a CMC tilt trim on my aluminum fishing boat. I'm wondering what product I should be using to seal the bolts that I'll be using to bolt through the transom. Also, should I just caulk the product around the holes or should I try...
