    '63 75hp "Sloppy" Pistons (Ongoing Rebuild)

    Well, I've taken the crankcase off of the powerhead. I'm following the Seloc and Factory Service Manual to the letter. Between the manuals and my prior automotive repair experience, I think I'm doing okay. However, this is my first complete engine rebuild, auto or marine. The engine is in...

    1963 oil mix 75 hp

    I'm rebuilding my engine now so I'm scouring the forums for info. Even though I'm looking for info related to the rebuild, I still like to read up on other topics as well. I've come across slightly confilicting recommendations for fuel/oil mixtures for my motor. Some posts say that anything...

    1963 Evinrude V4 Pivot Bolt

    I believe that the part is called a pivot rod or bolt. It is the carriage bolt (about 10-12 inches long) that the engine pivots on when manually tilting it out of the water. I'm doing a complete rebuild now, and I noticed that mine is bent. This might explain why it has been so dang difficult...

    Bow Seats and Windshield

    I am replacing the floor in my 69 tri hull. While I am at it, I would like to find some seats for the bow area. The seats were missing when I bought the boat, but I think I would like to get some to put there. I would prefer to make my own seats, if it is cheaper. I don't need anything too...

    New floor 69 tri-hull

    I am going to replace the floor in my 15.5' 1969 tri-hull in the next few weeks. I have been looking online for a guide, but I haven't come across anything yet. I am developing a pretty good mental picture of the procedure based on tidbits of info that I am finding in this forum. I do have a...

    1963 75 hp Carb

    I have been wondering about my carb for the last few years. I searched for the answer but I have never found it. My carb float cover has a hole in each throat. (This is not the cluster of holes located in the bottom portion of the carb throat.) I would assume that this is for fuel or air to...

    1963 75hp Rebuild and Stand

    Hello. I am the proud owner of a 1963 Evinrude Starflite 75 hp #75383-E. This old motor ran well when I first bought it about 8 years ago. With my boat (1969 tri-hull), I was able to go 39 mph. Over the years, the motor seemed to be putting out less and less power. Now, I can't even get on...

    two different trailer tires

    Last summer, a tire blew out coming home from the river. I bought another tire (4.80-8) from a tire shop that was the same size but different manufacturer. One tire says max load 60 psi. The other says max load 90 psi. Should I run them at differnent pressures?

    Hello,<br /> I am in the process of installing a charging circuit on my '63 evinrude 75 hp. It has an alternator, but when I bought the motor, none of the charging system components came with it. I bought a used junction box and wiring harness with all the trimmings. I had to purchase a 60...

    outboard bracket evinrude 75 hp

    1963 evinrude 75 hp v4. When lowering my motor, there are 4 positions that the motor can lock into. When I bought the motor, there was no bolt or rod to lock the motor down. I bolted up a piece of all-thread, but I'm not sure which hole to use. Is there a better alternative than all-thread...

    1963 evinrude not running properly

    Where do I start?! My 1963 evinrude 75 hp 4 cylinder model #75383 just doesn't want to run worth a &*%#$. It will start. Sometimes it idles good, sometimes not. The motor never runs good after about 10 minutes. I have recently rebuilt the carb, hoping that would solve my problem, but it...
