    67 Lightwin - Not running quite rite

    I picked up a 67 Lightwin. These motors are new to me however I am pretty handy with small engines. I successfully brought a 39 Elto 3hp back to life that has sat for 20 years with gas in it. I say this because I didn't want the first response to be "Take it to a professional" :) The 67...

    1988 90hp Evinrude - Lower Unit output shaft bearing

    I have had my lower unit apart on my 97 Volvo Penta which I believe has some similarities. I took the housing out leaving the shaft in place. I just needed to replace the seal. 1) Are they similar? 2) Does the output shaft housing thread out or pull out? I fabricated a tool to thread...

    1988 Evinrude 90hp v-4 - Little bit hard to start

    My 1988 Evinrude 90hp v-4 is a little hard to start. Takes about 5 turns of the key and a little throttle. Although I don't totally dismiss it, I don't suspect the idle air/fuel mixture screw or slow speed circuit because once it gets running it seems to run pretty good with no missing or...

    This boat and motor are new to me. Has OMC controls. After I had the boat running for 5 - 10 minutes on ear muffs all the sudden I heard some sort of alarm. It comes from the OMC controls (throttle shifter box). After it sits for a while (20 minutes) it is off. Comes back on after...

    1988 Evinrude 90 vro - Is VRO problematic?

    1988 Evinrude 90 vro - Is the VRO system problematic? I am buying a 88 Fisher boat today with an 1988 Evinrude 90 vro. Low hours. How do the VRO systems hold up? I have had other 2 stroke vehicles with oil injectors and my instinct is always to eliminate them. It's a trust thing. Thanks!
