    Battery for starting 25hp motor

    would a lawn mower battery work for starting a 25hp motor? I already have two batteries in my boat and they are located towards the middle of the boat. It would be a huge hassle to run thick enough wires through the way I have the boat setup. I was just wondering if a small lawn mower or...

    1979 Evinrude 35hp Wire question

    I took it all apart to clean the carb and when I was putting it back together I ran into a very short ground (black) jumper. It ran from the bolt that holds on the gas receptor on the outside of the bottom motor cover, and then to the bracket that holds the starter? Is this right, I have tried...

    Removing starter on 79 Rude 35hp

    Just got this motor and it needs a carb overhaul. Obviously the starter bracket has to come out first and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get that bracket loose. There is a couple of bolts and then a stud with a nut. There is a bolt behind the solenoid that is impossible to get...

    starter on 1986 Evinrude 50hp

    The starter is starting to become very inconsistent. The solenoid clicks always, like its supposed to, but sometimes the starter will engage and work and sometimes it just sits there and does nothing and all you hear is the solenoid click. I was just wondering if a start can be rebuilt instead...

    89 Evinrude 70hp inconsistent

    89 Evinrude 70hp. The VRO has been disabled, and I just use a standard fuel pump. Now when I had it out today, it was surging real bad and wouldnt maintain consistency at wide open throttle. I was inspecting the obvious things and noticed that my primer bulb was flat, so I just figured one of...
