    '86 Evinrude 60 VRO E60TLCD with water in #3

    I rebuilt the carbs and wanted to hear it run on the hose before tearing the exhaust manifold apart. Primed it up and it filled the water separator pretty much with straight water. So for now I’m assuming that’s where the water in the engine came from. I hooked up to one of my mower gas cans and...

    '86 Evinrude 60 VRO E60TLCD with water in #3

    No, it's fine. I appreciate the info. I have gaskets and carb rebuild kits on the way. Would you happen to know what factory hi/low speed screw settings are? Or where I can find a manual?

    '86 Evinrude 60 VRO E60TLCD with water in #3

    Thanks for the info, what should I be looking for in the exhaust gaskets? It doesn't look like the manifold has ever been off, where it could have been put back together wrong.

    '86 Evinrude 60 VRO E60TLCD with water in #3

    Hi, I have a 60hp evinrude that has been running poorly in the water and will get to a point where it won't even start. I pulled the plugs to compression test (#1 - 125psi, #2 - 130psi, #3 - 130psi) and found cylinder #3 had water in it. I blew it out and sprayed wd-40 in it and got it running...

    Thanks. Ya I just changed it. It was spraying a warm mist just above idle. Had it running in a barrel for 30 minutes and the engine stayed warm this time. What’s the trick to keeping the fuel screw in place? While the motor runs I can see the fuel screw turn from the vibration.

    The head and cylinders were too hot to touch after 5 minutes of running in a barrel.

    I’m back…..when replacing the plug wires I found the green wires from the coils were connected to the wrong points. Switched that as well as put new plug wires and caps and it runs now! Just getting small spits of water from the holes on the drive shaft housing and the engine is getting hot so...

    You wouldn’t happen to have a picture of that would you? I already had the coils off of it and trimmed about 1/2” of both spark plug wires. Is there another reason for me to take of the mag plate?

    Thank you. I will get a few feet of plug wire and new caps from marineengine.com, clean and readjust points and set the coils. See where that puts me.

    Regarding the coils, I didn’t line them up any specific way. I know one was sticking out too far when o put the flywheel back on because it was rubbing so I took the flywheel off and moved the coil in slightly.

    The owner doesn’t have the old ones and can’t recall if they were cracked. Just said it didn’t have spark so he replaced it all except the plug wires. I don’t have an ohm meter so haven’t been able to test for that. I have tried several different spark plugs I have laying around with no change...

    Thank you for the insight. The owner told me he has replaced the coils, points, and condensers. Explains why they look so new, but not why it doesn’t have spark.

    Thank you sir. Points and condensers are cheap enough. Is setting the gap as easy as rotating the crank to the “top” range then adjusting the gap? What shuts the engine off when you move the throttle all the way to the left? Does it just retard the timing enough to kill it? What is considered...

    What boot are you talking about? I didn’t see any grounds to the frame.

    Hey Racer, I went back through the carb and found a plugged jet, the one in the bottom of the bowl. Plugs are wet now. Regarding the points and coils. They all look new to me, the coils are green in color but the plug wires are black look pretty old. The points open and close. Think I should...

    Ok, I know it’s getting fuel. I have drained the bowl several times. Main jet is cleaned out all other offices cleaned too. Thank you

    Hi, I am working on a 3hp evinrude for a guy. He brought it to me not running and missing the throttle linkages. I was able to get the missing parts from a couple eBay auctions. Cleaned the carb all out and put new plugs in it and cleaned the gas tank. The engine won’t start and it’s not...
