    Just ment an overbore but can he leave the crank, bearings and seals alone? I know the head needs resurfacing. Sounds to me a whole kit is needed.

    96 evinrude 20 hp runs rough mid range

    "needs a new stator. I charge the battery manually when I get home and it never runs down when I use it. What is likely the next step?" This line makes no sense. If you have a charging issue check the rectifier. Besides checking compression (do this first) try a different carb.....this assumes...

    Customer advice

    Sold a 2000 70 HP Johnson to a guy and gave him a excellent price but told him I have not gone through it. It was a yacht tender motor so low idling hours...just Sun scorched. We test ran it at my place and I walked him through what he needed to do. He sent me pictures of him and his wife and...

    1987 88hp evinrude v4 crossflow

    I use the Q's to avoid fish finder madness. Gap size?....personal preference.

    1970 Evinrude 18hp Trottle issue

    "I believe I did run the head over 220 and saw no depressions." This one is hard to believe. They are all out of spec.

    1970 Evinrude 18hp Trottle issue

    Just read the thread, I don't see the new compression numbers nor do I see that you sanded the head. Was that done?

    1995 Johnson 15hp

    Yes all that plastic crap can break....usually breaks when you really need it to work. So don't really use it!

    1995 Johnson 112 SPL

    That's a 112 special until I turned it into a 115 Estradarude!

    Check your tach otherwise you need a 15 pitch at least. Must be a light boat.

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    Who's the maker of the service manual and in general I wasn't talking about just the pin. No problem with you working on it or even enjoying posting.... it's just at the end of the day don't expect it to be a real good outboard for you.

    1973 4hp Evinrude

    Really it's kind of wall art.....if you want to continue to play around with it purchase a factory manual and tear it down and restore it. Newer more modern motors work better for actual use but I have fun cleaning them up. Just remember at the end of the day what you really have.

    Guess Who needed a tow home ?

    Just look up linc and sync for your motor....typically takes 2 or 3 times before I get it exactly the way I want it. Easy job? Not really, but gets easier every time I do it. I don't use the carb pointer tool that the manufacturer says you need.

    If yours has a choke it must have something to do with it being special.

    Guess Who needed a tow home ?

    OMC service bulletin stated that you should be a 1/4 to 1/2 inches forward of the two lines. Mine hesitates if I run it between the two lines when I punch it, but if I run it about 3/8 of an inch ahead of that it's smooth when I push the throttle up. I guess if yours is working fine I'd leave...

    Guess Who needed a tow home ?

    I know I'm not on the Mercury forum but I'm trying to rebuild this carburetor for my neighbor. She lost her husband and her two outboards sat for 7 years and one of them started running and then didn't. This one particular screw has an opening on the back side which allowed it to get stuck and...

    I agree and you must be a swedish guy like me because, and no offense, you don't listen.
