    Exuast backfires 1976 25hp evinrude

    Johnson temp issue

    All the Evinrude / Johnson motors I know of always had perfect high temperature sensors. BUT the thermostats had a bad part which caused a STICKY overheat alarm. I would race the motor up in gear and the alarm stopped in a second or 2. At 86 & heavy meds I do get confused sometimes.

    Johnson temp issue

    IS it a V block engine ? If yes. Then the Starboard Sensor appears to be operating OK. It sounds lik the Port Sensor is stuck in the ...CLOSED ... position. If the 2 thermostats can be swapped ? The problem would then be the Starboard head. However.... The presently stuck CLOSED thermostat...

    There is 1 OTHER possible cause of a erratic and difficult IDLE and just above IDLE speed. A LOOSE Ignition Cam linkage setup. Have that checked out. Some people readhust EVERYTHING with a screw that turns easily.

    Full throttle in reverse little throttle forward

    Is it possible the throttle cable is in the F R gear selector arm on the motor ? Or the cable clamps are loose ? that allows very sloppy movement on the motor control levers. The cable clamps may have been removed & lost ?

    Someone knows fersure. Sneezing and idle screw does little

    As with all repairs. Take pictures as you start and as you get ready to remove another part. I removed the thermostat. Had to stop for a day. I tested it in the stove pot.

    I have a 30hp Yamaha 2 stroke 3cylinder 1991 2nd spark not firing any ideas?

    Does the bad cylinder have a sparkplug that is oily compared to the other 2 cylinder sparkplugs. Rare but a sparkplug can NOT create a spark when voltage is applied to it.
