A little cough when idling (still trying to dial in) Then conked out, tried starting again, but no luck. checked spark, seemed to be getting spark from both plugs. Sounded dry like not getting gas again, but I changed fuel...

    Just a question 1971 18 hp Fastwin

    I was just asking. It felt a little soft to me when I moved back in place. I have no doubt in my mind, the Evinrude people knew what they were doing. I was more thinking ahead in case I had to replace it and what was involved. By the way a guy quoted me for $120/HR shop support. Going to try to...

    Just a question 1971 18 hp Fastwin

    I figured out my water pump issue. The water pipe was not seated in the Water pump housing grommet. My question is, is that pipe copper? Why wouldn't Evinrude use something more durable? If I had to replace would it be really hard to replace? I rebuilt the whole engine (new powerhead) so I would...

    Trailer Build

    I kind of ask this question before, but to clarify. If I want to make a trailer like this to carry my 14 Mirrocraft rowboat and motor and the highlighted piece is 12 foot, what should I use aluminum (3" x 3" x 1/4) or 3" x 5" x 1/4 ? or go with steel? Thanks for your patience
