    Idle issues

    When at lowest sustainable idle, if your low speed circuit is clean, you should be able to adjust low speed needle too lean.. making it lean sneeze (less than 3/4 turn out), and too rich (more than 1.5 turns) and start slowing/blubbering. If LS needle adjustment does both of those, likely a...

    Have you ever seen this?

    Lots of folks think the key drives the flywheel, but it is the interference fit of tapered crank to flywheel (torqued correctly). The key just orients/times the flywheel/magnets to engine stroke when installing flywheel.

    carburetor swap

    Jet size is matched to carb throat diameter (air intake/flow), so each carb already has correct jet. 20hp was likely made in Canada.

    2000 Johnson 50 Cylinder Damage. Help!

    I would pull the spark plugs and turn the motor over by hand.. spin flywheel clockwise. If all smooth, assume bearings aren’t damaged. The droplets are obviously water, so you need that dried out of your engine asap. Run motor on muffs or barrel with deep enough water to submerge impeller...

    Keep getting spun prop 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    If prop is not binding against gearcase housing and spins freely in neutral, nothing in gearcase would cause a spun hub bushing.

    Keep getting spun prop 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    I have used a few new solas props without breaking in the hub-with success. Again i believe all factory-new props will be ready to go, but prop shop re-hubbed would need break-in. Either way, breaking in cannot hurt😎

    Keep getting spun prop 1969 Evinrude 18hp

    i have heard of spun prop bushings on newly re-hubbed props due to not following ’break-in or ‘hub set’ procedure. If I remember correctly (from tag on freshly re-hubbed prop from shop),with gearcase in water over 70 degrees (I used barrel in garage as it was early spring), start motor and...

    Stator 6hp non standard

    The powerhead has a ‘boss’ where the armature plate fits. This is where the grease is. If you use a center punch on the side of the boss, and punch the sides at 12, three, six, and 9 o’clock, it will put up a small wave of metal which will take up that space, and no more lateral play that can...
