    Evinrude starts but shuts off right away flywheel becomes stiff

    Ok....that helps. Take the cover off and look around for metal shavings around and under the flywheel and anywhere in the lower cover or the pan as some call it. Also see if you can turn the flywheel by hand and if you can does it feel smooth or feel like somethings rubbing or a grinding...

    Also i would yank that vro off the motor and toss it....mix your oil and fuel yourself. I had a 91 88spl and i mixed it myself...thise vro's had issues and all it takes is that thing to stop injecting oil for a min or so before you overheat and or seize up....js

    Late 70's early 80's 25-35hp...carb difference or?

    Hmmmmm.....i checked and all the 25's and 35's from 76 to 84 have the same intakes...according to the part numbers. I guess im confused as to why the intakes would be different (size wise) but still have the same part #. ??

    Late 70's early 80's 25-35hp...carb difference or?

    Do the 35's get the extra 10hp from the carb having a bigger throat? Seems i saw the powerheads and manifolds are the same on both the 25's and 35's of this era, that being said it has to be the carb right??

Looks mid 80's ish but hard to tell....all these 25's and 35's of this era (79-89) are pretty much the same motors minus a few updated parts like the midsections, gearshift etc....easy to work on and lots of cheap parts avail. With little maintnance theyre about bulletproof and...
