    1968 Evinrude Fisherman 6hp (midsection question)

    Yea, pull that section out, get a short shift shaft, short driveshaft, short water tube and short exhaust tube. But as said it's probably cheaper to get a short shaft parts motor.

    Regular fuel

    OMC even says clean 87 octane fuel is all thats required. I am not sure where the have to run premium fuel notion got started and why so many people think you have too. What you don't want is ethonol, and I guess it came from that many premium fuels use to be no ethonol but that's not been the...

    Johnson 70 lower unit help

    Normal. There is an area where the clutch dogs engage that you can spin it both directions before the dog hits the face of the gear where it engages. This however will not tell you if the gears and dog are worn out where it will jump out of gear under load. It may go into gear fine and you can...

    Early 1960s Evinrude 75hp Starflite Barn find - Worth it?

    For sure there parts on there that someone is looking for or will be at some point. I hate seeing stuff scrapped especially when parts are NLA. We're happy to buy used serviceable parts!

    What size is this missing nut?

    If a 5/16 course started to thread or is very close in size but didn't work it's fine thread. There SHOULDN'T be any metric nuts or bolts on that engine.

    Johnson Motor on a Winner Hull - need main wiring harness and throttle/shifter control

    CDI had wire harness available for certain motors, not sure if they have something for that age motor. Also keep in mind that anything used may be almost as bad as yours. The insulation they used on those era boats seemed to wear pretty badly through the years. Like even ones that weren't really...

    1972 Johnson 85 HP (85ESL72R) No Spark, stuck

    Yes many folks here and other places say ditch the wing nuts. I would imagine this is especially important on today's computer controlled engines .

    1973 Evinrude 25hp wire harness plug repair.

    I'm just saying what was on them. I wasn't putting power to them anywhere, just poking around with a DVM while having the key in various positions. This was a running motor as it was, I have done no wireing to it prior and just fixing the rotted wires. I am not arguing with you about what there...

    1972 Johnson 85 HP (85ESL72R) No Spark, stuck

    I do not know but like you hinted at. If there is no where to discharge will they burn themselves up? I do not know the answer to this question, just reiterating what you had said.

    Water temp warning ?

    That's good. That's usually what it is. 2016 is a good run on an impeller, especially if it's used a pretty good bit.

    Ordering Parts in Canada

    Yep I put an edit on my post but apparently I didn't hit save. I edited right after I posted to say I thought I remembered reading a press release/article about it. That corona shut them down on top of existing market conditions. Said I was going to Google and read it again.

    Ordering Parts in Canada

    Did they? I was just on evinrude.com and they listed Evinrude still. I also will say I don't follow current stuff and what comes out and who still is in business or who sold out. Did they drop the Evinrude line or sell the name and no one is making one now?

    1973 Evinrude 25hp wire harness plug repair.

    This is the diagram I referred to.there two black wires that go to the coil from the switch. I assume there power wires since a coil grounds through the block.

    1973 Evinrude 25hp wire harness plug repair.

    Well they weren't 12v with key on, it was more like 10v but I just figured maybe it was from extra resistance? Haha.

    Missing Thermostat

    I think he means they pull thermostats instead of replacing the water pump.

    Slight motor knock

    Well if your correct about that 85 is great. I do not know personally. I just would of thought it should of been north of 100psi. If there all similar and it runs and you think 90psi was factory I would say it's perfectly healthy that way

    1973 Evinrude 25hp wire harness plug repair.

    Ok , I'm about to cut the small wires from the plug under the motor cover so I can splice to them. I have been trying to think how I can figure out which black wire under hood goes where and vice versa to match them up. Looking at the wireing diagram they both power coils but one has a branch...
