    1978 Evinrude 35hp Outboard chareging issue

    I have a chargeing issue with this engine. It is the elctric start version so it has the stator and rectifier on it.

    1999 Mercury Outboard engine fire

    I have a chance to get a 1999 Bassboat that caught fire while in tow. The battery somehow moved and shorted out causing the fire.

    1971 Evinrude 60 hp starter question

    I did a compression check today but had to do a dry/cold test. My starter will turn the engine fine with all 3 plugs removed but will not spin the engine fast enough to start it with the plugs in. Is this a simple fix or do I need a new starter?
