    2000 Larson 186 LXi Project

    Looking at a boat, but have not actually inspected it yet given the distance from me. What are the odd this floor is still good? Picture just doesn't look well. I have replaced a floor and know what replacement entails and really do not want to get into that again. With my limited experience I...

    Low Speed Needle Valve Washers Being Crushed

    Rebuilt carb. a few months ago and the two cork washers (#13 on diagram(75 40HP)) were in pretty rough shape.

    Armature Plate Not Smooth on1975 40HP Elec. Start

    When I reduced the throttle from 100% it hangs at around 30% where it appears to be binding on something. I adjusted the cut-out switch as I thought this was binding on the switch as it came back into contact with the armature plate. I made a video showing how the armature plate is jumping up...

    Have you cleaned the points? I have circled the areas that need cleaned. If cleaning the points makes the engine run good again I would replace them after that. I have circled the areas that I am talking about cleaning.

    Evinrude 1983 60hp low compression

    Here is your ring groove area. Run your fingernail up the cylinder and see if it catches where the tip of the arrow is. If there is just a small lip there then you can ignore the ring groove discussion. I would strongly suggest a service manual for you. They are tremendous tool to have for all...

    '76-40HP Evinrude: No Fire on Top Cylinder

    I have been having some sporadic trouble from this OB (40HP Evinrude) for some time now. The motor just wouldn't take off. At WOT it would wind up to about 20-30%power. I wanted to confirm fire on both cylinders, so I started looking around. With the engine at idle, I pulled the top plug wire...

    Older motor w/ Newer Atwood Fuel Cell

    My '75 40hp ran great today, but again I forgot to open the vent on the fuel cell. Motor starts acting like it can't get enough fuel after a few hours of running around at various loads, so I look at the tank and I ONCE AGAIN forgot to open the vent on the fuel cell's cap. The tank was...

    Flooding Problem

    I have a 1975 40554C (40HP Evinrude). I was cruising along (about 80%) and the motor suddenly died. I noticed that I forgot to open the vent valve on the fuel tank cap and the fuel tank was caving in on itself. I opened the vent up and now fuel is pouring out of the carburetor air inlet orifice...
