    Johnson Evinrude 130hp vro pump

    If your healthy enough to inspect it you may find it needs much less than $150. Also depends on your mechanical ability. Inspecting cost nothing. But regardless of your issue, having a bad back and boating don't go hand and hand. I'd wait and do it right. Always worked best for me.

    Johnson Evinrude 130hp vro pump

    To answer your question directly, no do not use aftermarket stuff. Rebuild it...fuel diaphragm only most likely... But do the other things first. Question, if your mechanic diagnosed this, why didn't he just fix it?

    '88 Johnson 30HP bogs down on full throttle

    NOT good enough....compression. First line of racerone's comments. Time to give up on this motor. Did the mechanic who "tuned it up" know about the compression numbers? Might want to seek out someone else if he did.

    How to decarbon a 4 stroke

    That's either a miss print, from a two stroke or a manual that covers everything. If an auto like my dead grandmother's Cadillac....was driven slow all the time then the valves get carbon on them. We used to pour tranny fluid down the carb while running and smoke the living snot out of a city...

    81 Evinrude 25HP Carburetor Question

    To repeat myself, the 25, 30, 35 carb is a direct swap (no porting, jet or intake issues) except I'm not quite sure of the year swap. That's not true in other HP ranges. Very simple task, while the motor is off...stare down the throat of the carb and see if the butter fly valve is completely...

    81 Evinrude 25HP Carburetor Question

    L & C is a must. Remove the cowling, put it on the lake and go to wot....push down on the carb linkage and see if it surges. Eyeballing the butterfly is easier though and is part of the l&c procedure.

    81 Evinrude 25HP Carburetor Question

    In conclusion, you probably need more fuel not less on the high side.

    81 Evinrude 25HP Carburetor Question

    It should work fine with that HP range...did you perform the link and sync correctly? Is the butterfly completely flat or horizontal at wide open throttle? If so your main jet could be the issue.

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    From what I understand it depends what alternator you have. Manufacturer says it's capable of drawing 170 amps...and that's easily attainable. Also, your talking about if you use it to full capacity which when I don't I'm ok. But, I did pick that wattage for a reason and I'm seeing a so called...

    Could I use isolator to charge AGM battery

    Interesting. My van has a 3000 what inverter...and I'm cooking alternators. I was told by one person that I need a DC to DC charger. I just learned more in your paragraphs then about 5 techs that I've talked to. Makes better sense now. I also have 2 gp 31 AGM lifeline batteries for a boat Im...

    87 50HP VRO Evinrude - Could this be my problem?

    I agree, when ever I need to "perk up" a little sperm-itting is all I do! 😜

    1980 evinrude no water

    Did you remove that nipple like I suggested? Also, you had air come out the intake? If so that would be bad. Maybe I'm interpreting this wrong, intake manifold?
