I have a Merc 4 stroke that has a little bit of starting problems. This engine doesn't have your regular push/pull type choke on it, it is some kind of acctuator. What happens is that there is a needle inside that when not in the choke mode is down blocking the passage and when it is in choke...
I bought a 1964 18' Starcraft Holiday a few months back with trailer but no motor for $500. The boat doesn't need anything besides for new wood in the seats. Vinyl and padding are ok and the frames are steel.
I put a 1976 75 HP Evinrude on her and had her out at least 5 times since...
I was wondering if anyone had a remote control wiring diagram for a 1982 25HP Johnson?
Bought it and instead of the guy taking the wires off at the plug by the engine he unhooked them all from the key switch. So I need a diagram. Or if someone knows the wire color to the letter on the key...
I saw a new prop on craigs list for my 76 70HP size is 13 1/4 x 17. My question is the prop that originally came on the motor is a 13 1/4 x 19. I used prop wizard and it said for best speed to use a 13 1/4 x 17. Won't if I reduce the pitch from 19 to 17 reduce my top speed?
I have an 1976 75 HP Evinrude that I cleaned up and took out for the first time today. Out of the water the engine runs great. When throttled up runs around 7K RPM's. We get it out on the water and push the throttle forward and she stalls out so we took the cover off and noticed that the spring...
I was wondering if anyone knew if and where there is a plug in the water cooling jacket that can be removed?
I've looked but didn't see anything that stood out to me so any help would be great. Thanks
I was wondering if I can use any generic tach or have to use a special one. Also how to hook it up.
Also I need a water pump gasket and all the parts manuals I've looked at online don't list the gasket. I even called my local Evinrude repair shop and they say it's not listed or shown so it...
I have a couple questions about the skeg on my 76 Evinrude. 1st is what is the purpose of the skeg?
And second mine is broken, do they sell replacement skegs that I can have welded on? or should I just buy a skeggard?
Tomorrow I am going to look at a boat that I plan on using to go fishing on inland lakes and the nearby Saginaw Bay (Lake Huron). I haven't seen the boat yet I am hoping that the sides are as deep as I think.
He is selling the boat w/trailer and 25 HP johnson (original 60 hp he put on his...
I recently bought a 1978 75HP Evinrude for $100 bucks. Person said it didn't run. I cleaned out the mice nests and cleaned the gunk out of the carbs and luckily she fired right up. Runs like a champ. However I'm not sure if the water pump is working correctly. I don't know where the water...
I have a 1991 Yamaha 3 HP model 3MSHP but I can't remember for the fuel/oil mix ratio is. I tried to a google search but can't find anything.
Anyone know what the mixture ratio is?
Thanks

Anyone know how to test the brushes and motor on a trolling motor?
I get power at the brushes but motor doesn't spin. Removed metal cassing from magnents and cleaned it out real good but still nothing. Anyone have any suggestions on how to test?
Also is there a way I can find out the year on it...
My question is when the throttle is in the neutral position the propeller still spins slowly and the reverse isn't working. When she is put into forward gear the propeller spins like normal. Anyone know what could be wrong that the propeller spins in neutral and don't have reverse?
She worked...
I have a 1998 9.9 four stroke 9.9 232CC manual start engine. The problem that I am having is that she is really hard to start. I have to use starting fluid to get her to run in the morning and thats hit and miss. But once she is warmed up she will start and run all day.
Having to do this led me...
