    Mettyfish's 15hp powerhead

    I got it today, to refresh everyone's memory this was the 15 with low compression on one cylinder, he pulled the head and found scoring. The top piston is scored badly, the bottom one seems fine. The reed for the top piston has a slight gap so it will need to be replaced. It's an early...

    Back to the 76 15

    When I had the magneto off I noticed it was pretty oily under there, so I'm going to replace the upper crank seal. Magneto cam as expected is pretty much glued to the crankshaft, anyone know the quick and dirty way to get it off without wrecking it? Merci

    76 Evinrude 15 reassembled with an issue

    The gent who owned my 15 complained of a fouled bottom plug. When I got the motor home I checked compression, 95 top and bottom. The motor starter first pull. When I took it apart for paint I noticed that the bottom crank seal had let go, the spring had folded. So I put in a new seal and put it...

    How long do your batts last?

    I have the opportunity to pick up an Interstate 27M marine/RV deep cycle battery, has been sitting without charge for 2 years, the owner wants $20 for it. Would you think the battery is still good if it were stored properly?

    Mercury KH7

    I'm going to aquire this motor in January. Doing some research (which there isn't a lot of info on them) I stumbled upon a youtube video of a gent who explained that the water pumps were undersized in these motors and that they overheated. He went on to state that Mercury had a factory recall...

    I'm outta here

    It seems that my approach to troubleshooting by asking questions of some of the poster(s) who's name(s) I will not share is annoying to such posters. Seeing as how I live in the great white north and the boats don't like ice what would be the point of sticking around the forums to offer FREE...

    F R- Can you answer this one?

    I wouldn't normally single someone out but F R , you seem to be a pretty good at this stuff so i'll try you. In another post I had asked about my 7.5, 1955 model. The shift detents are missing so I found a set, I plan on installing them. I shift the motor in forward or reverse with the motor...

    This motor is driving me nuts!!!

    1955 evinrude 7.5 OK so I fired the motor up again tonight. It has a really neat rattling sound when it starts, I ran it for about 3 minutes then the sound magically disappeared! I thought they were just loud motors until it sounded nice and quiet. I shut it off and started up again, rattle...

    1955 evinrude 7.5

    So I got this motor running tonight, seems whoever put the carb back together after they put a kit in it forgot to put the clip on for the needle, duh, the thing fired up first pull.

    Evinrude 9.9/15 Carb - Orifice won't budge

    I got my 15hp carb apart and the main orifice won't budge, upon trying to remove it after letting it soak with penetrating oil the brass on the plug broke. This carb was water submerged. I put vise grips on it only to shred the brass. Should I drill it out, anyone got any other ideas to remove...
