Compression 100 both cylinders cold 105 warm. most of the work on the carb was 4 years ago. There was no change after except I fixed the worst problem which was vaporlocking when warm. Was probably fuel line as it resolved after addressing connections.That is not an issue anymore but everything...
This is an ongoing problem. Since I either troll or run it on a plane (80-85% throttle it's livable but vexing. At idle and a short amount above that it runs smooth. When I open it up anything less than say 75% I seem to lose one cylinder. I have rebuilt the carb,changed the leaf valve, replaced...
racerone thank you for your help. I checked again with a better meter no change. Last time I got involved with this motor on a fuel issue I spent way too much time figuring things out after the dealers locally turned up their nose at the work. I'll start looking for someone to do it.
Evinrude 1996 20 when running does not charge battery. Voltage at battery never goes above static battery voltage. Checked regulator with meter and it's open in all directions. Picked up a replacement at the dealer and today I checked it before installing and I get the same readings, everything...
Runs well, when I put in to forward smooth entry and works as it should, when I put into reverse even from stop, a get a grind (slow but there) when I try to put in reverse after that it works as it should. No other issues. Is this an issue I need to worry about?
This motor starts first or second pull. Runs well when started. Power tilt works at all times. When I try to start it using the electric starter, there is a click, sometimes a small whine (1/2 second long) and the console lights dim. Battery replaced and no help. this started and at first was...
I want to add some motorized equipment to my little boat. I am concerned that it will overload the charging system, I currently run a fish finder and two down riggers (which are coming off.) The units I want to add are motorized jig boxes that I am building and will use either 6 amps at 12 vdc...
I have a 20 hp 1996 Evinrude. I have rebuilt everything in the fuel system. It runs really well at idle once running, and at full throttle as well. It is hard to start. Turns for 20-30 seconds before starting. When it starts you cannot leave it at idle as it will stall (no fun at a busy ramp!)...
I am going down for a long week in May. In the past I have paid for a boat and guide, or fished from shore. Worked pretyy well but the guides are big money due to the tarpon pressure. I saw a website that rented older (3+ years) fishing boats for a very reasonable price. $150 a day for a 16-18...
I ran into a guy trolling streamers for salmon using a power jig box. it used 12 volt power to "jig" the streamer and was real effective. Anyone know where I can get one or plans for one?
I have the above engine with electric start. It runs a Little bit rough at idle but not bad, When I open it up slowly, at 1/4 throttle it seems like I lose a cylinder. It stays that way until 1/2 throttle or so then the motor smooths right out, and runs smooth up to WOT. This is consistent it...
guessing about 1999 metal 3 gallon. I need the connector that is on the outboard end of the gas line. it looks like 1/4 in ID hose and everything I have found is too large. I would just buy a new tank and hose, but it was lent to me and while I am not sure the gasket in the connector was bad...
