    1980 35hp checking water supply

    New to evinrude and trying to bring this one back to life. I replaced the water pump the other day and I have just gotten it running for this first few times this week. The telltail seems to be slow to start running and tends to just dribble. It will spray at a 1/2 throttle or more, but not...

    First evinrude carb rebuild, and kit is missing a part

    1980 35hp carb rebuild, was going smoothly until I came to reassembly. The carb was frighteningly dirty, and I thought nothing of the plastic needle valve retainer, crumbling during breakdown. Come to find there is no needle valve retainer in the kit. There were four choices with and without a...

    Ive got an '80 E35ELCSM model. I purchased a sierra switch for it and wired it according to the service manual and it's obviously incorrect somehow because when in the on position the starter runs and doesn't stop until switched off. here's my wiring: red/purple-B...

    What's the inside of a stumpnocker 2 look like?

    I am repairing a 1978 stumpnocker 2. It has a break in the keel that had been patched/repaired and then rebroken and very poorly patched again. There is very little that is internal on these. The hull and the inner floor are very close and in the bilge it is the same fiberglass. It looks like it...

    Manual suggestions

Runs good other then gas leaking out the bowl, somewhere along the bottom and spurting at me out the float chamber overflow port all from carb 3. It...

    Help evaluating the hull

    First boat and things up top are going good. Well time for the hull, it has a number of issues and I would like to hear some thoughts. I have only done fiberglass on cars. Not when it has to hold water or else. The front damage is down to the woven cloth in a few places. Just down from that is...

    First time throttling up and got oil.

    This is on a 1975, 1150 straight 6. The last owners replaced the throttle after breaking it (they say when they hit a sand bar). It did not work right for them and they thankfully lost interest . I am glad they did not do a lot with the boat. Their rewiring job took sometime to fix. Anyway we...

    steering dent, 115 mercury

    Steering was not moving. I've got it apart somewhat. Cable responds from wheel so that looks OK. Last owner was less then helpful. The dent is old but I have no idea how much it effects the steering. I can't seem to get it any more apart. A diagram of what is inside would be great. If I can...

In pic one the last owner has put a wire to hold the bottom of the mesh cover in place. screw is missing. I then noticed gas coming out a tube on the underside of the carb...
