    Spark plug recommendations for 1973 evinrude 65 triumph.

    One of the small post goes to the block for ground and the other post has a wire that feeds into the big red plug. How do I correctly jump the solenoid?

    Spark plug recommendations for 1973 evinrude 65 triumph.

    I am getting 12volts to the solenoid but when I try to jump the solenoid the starter won’t do anything. There is no clicking or sound when I try to jump the solenoid. It seems like the solenoid is being fed 12 volts but won’t give any voltage out even when I try and jump it

    I am now in the process of trying to get the motor to start. I currently don’t have an ignition or controls that connect to the red plug. Apparently if I take the plugs out and ground them to the head they spark and I can see it on the bottom of the plugs because the spark is pretty strong. But...

    I have strong spark. The numbers didn’t move much, only difference was the top moved from 95 to 100. This motor was sitting in the elements for 7+ years locked up. I got it free and it turns freely and it doesn’t feel like there’s much on the walls where the pistons are. I think that if I get...

    I did a compression test and these were the results top-95 middle-77 bottom-125. I think my starter is bad. It will not disengage off the flywheel and it turned very slow when I did the top and middle cylinder test and went sorta fast when I did the bottom. I know this engine has good...

    Should I buy this 1973 Evinrude 65 triumph?

    Thanks for the reply! I am going to find out if it’s locked up or not and if it isn’t maybe I can run some compression tests before I buy it. I have a feeling everything should work out.
