I have an evinrude lark 35 I just got after it had been sitting for 7 years. I pulled the carb and cleaned it. After i did that it would start but runs a bit rough. Also after about a minute it stalls and will not restart. When it stalls there is a very strong odor of fuel. If I wait about...
I'm running an old 1966 slickcraft with a 1975 evinrude 115. I am thinking about repowering with a newer engine, possibly with fuel injection as i change elevation a bit.The boat is in really good shape for the age and is a good size for the local lake. I know that the power rating in 1975 was...
I recently moved from wisconsin at 1400 feet elevation to show low az at 6000 feet elevation. I an sure I need to rejet my carb but don't knw by how much. I dropped about 8 mph and when i idle the cylinders load up and it sputters when i hit the throttle for a bit until it clears. Any ideas on...
Hi,<br /> i Have a 1975 evinrude 115 on a 1966 slickcraft. ( i think a 16ss? ) Anyway, it goes pretty well but has an issue. When I try to start it cold it won't fire. I have to take the cowl off and spray fuel into the carb. After it has run for a minute or so it will refire all day as long as...
I just rebuilt the carbs on my 1975 evinrude 115 because the boat wouldn't start and then ran terrible after getting it running. After reinstalling the carbs and taking it to the lake, it has no power amd seems to run on only 2 cylinders. The bottom 2 plugs seem pretty dry where the top 2 are...

I have a 1967 johnson 40 horse. It runs great now thatnks to some great tips I got here. Now I have another issue. I took the boat today to test it. I shifts into gear but as sson as you give any more than an idle the engine just free wheels. This happens in both forward and reverse. I have...
I have a 1967 johnson 40 horse. I got the motor with no spark and fixed the problem with new points and condensers. Now it seems the engine is not drawing in fuel. I can make it run by shooting fuel with a squirt bottle into the carb but when i stop, the engine quits. It doesn't even try to pop...
My 62 johnson is at 90 - 92 lbs on all 4 cylinders and from what I've been told this is about 25 to 30 lbs low. I would like to rebuild the powerhead but I am having a hard time finding pistons and rings for this engine. Any ideas? Also, how much can I shave off of the heads before I have a...
