This question may sound ridiculous to some but I'm puzzled and a little embarrassed.
I just put a '94 Johnson 50 hp back into service after a 2+ year down time due to illness.
I noted no tell tale stream when running on the muffs. It doesn't overheat but there is not a tell tale stream. I've...
I have a 1977 Evinrude 70 hp I am restoring.
I need to replace the bracket and midsection. I've been offered mid 1980's 85 hp parts and also some mid 1970's 50 hp parts.
Does anyone know what models will interchange? I will use my powerhead and probably my lower unit.

I've had some long term idle issues with this engine and undertook today to clean and "rebuild" the carbs. The engine has run great at high speed. These are very simple carbs and actually about the only thing in the kits that could be changed was the needle valve and seat, and the gaskets...
I just took on another project for one of my sons, an 84 Evinrude 70 hp. Trim and tilt worked when demonstrated on the former owner's boat. The engine was left in an "half tilt" position and transported on it's side in the truck where it stayed under cover until today (about 2 months). When I...
Johnson J50TLERE (94 50 hp). Intermittent total ignition failure. Today I finally got back to troubleshooting the engine now having a DVA Adapter and using the CDI troubleshooting information.
The Stator Checks perfectly as does the trigger and charge coil. Since the stator checked correctly...
I just purchased a used 84 Evinrude 70 hp E70TLCRD not running with no spark. I'm sure I can get my money out of it if I don't fix the ignition problem by parting out the lower unit and power trim alone. BUT, I'm thinking about maby keeping it.
Here's the question. The engine sat in a...
I have a 900ma battery drain through the red charge wire to the rectifier on this engine. I haven't done any specific diode tests yet but have definitively determined the drain to be from the starter solenoid to the red wire of the rectifier/regulator. Any need to troubleshoot further or is it...
I need to swap the engine mounting brackets and associated parts from a parts motor to another that we are going to refinish in order to minimize the area we need to sand blast and paint. The engine to be refinished has a good bit of bracket and lower unit corrosion from sitting in the water in...
Here's an odd (I think) problem I encountered today in the first time afloat in my new (to me) boat.
94 Johnson 50 hp. Had trim cylinder resealed prior to putting in the water for the first time.
The unit will trim against engine thrust at full throttle but will not trim back down until the...
I need a part number for a replacement water pump impeller housing for 77 Evinrude 70 hp.
I've searched all over and find lots of numbers but nothing that comfirms fit.
Anyone know the correct number that will come back as available rather than obsolete? Aftermarket is ok too.

I'm trying out a virtually unused 94 Johnson 50 (owners Dad died the day after he bought it). No spark. What fuses may be in the ignition system? It is possible perhaps that the kill switch is malfunctioning... How can I temporarily disconnect it from the engine to test the ignition?
Does anyone run their OX66 engine on muffs? Everytime I try to run my 99 250 hp Salt Water Series OX66 on the muffs (even with a dual feed muffs) it overheats after a few minutes. NO overheating in the water however.

I need some help guys. We bought a 1977 70 hp Evinrude with Power Trim and Tilt. This is the system with the rams outside the engine bracket.
The port (trim ram I've been told) was frozen in place. The motor, pump, and starboard ram all work.
I've acquired another system and in testing on...
I need to test an 83 Johnson 75 hp that has a bad starter. Can I substitute the starter from a 77 Evinrude 70 hp? Both appear to be Bosch starters.
