    40hp Dead Top Cylinder

    We have a summer home on Puget sound near Seattle Washington....the other Washington. I often walk the beach and see people destroying their arms trying to start their outboards, the smell of gas permeating the air. You walk up and the choke is on and they have their partner pumping the primer...

    Need your opinion about replacing the original Reed Valves in my 1986 Evinrude 30 hp.

    Try 100 to 1 oil ratio for trolling only. Two gas tanks one with 50 to 1 and one at 100 to 1. Or buy amsoil and do it all at 100 to one. I use BRP xd 50 on my thirty at 75 to 1 and go everywhere. Glad to see with one eye and the big C your still out shaking it up.....keep it up and if there is...

    9.9 Evinrude 4 stroke carb modifications for idle

    I think you explained it just fine.... Well maintained motor....sure, everyone says that. Just a kicker.....yeah, kickers don't work hard. Worked on it a year ago.....that's quite a while. Do you know how fast gas turns to varnish? What changed this motor.....it's older, it's used and it...

    Carb fuel leak johnson 88spl

    Yes gentle taps or remove carb drain bolt and shoot carb cleaner in there. As for the pictures, you can go to camera settings and dial back on the quality to send faster but most likely it's your Internet speed. Crosbyman might have better advice.

    40hp Dead Top Cylinder

    Hmmm..... talking about me? Anyhow, I'm sure it's nice to have it up and running again, congrats. "Spark plugs and even the air would prove that" now who did you think said that? Best, Matt

    Evinrude 50 impeller

    It should be stiff and we don't know how strong you are.

    Grease is another example of holding parts together during assembly.

    Short shaft to long shaft

    On most motors besides shift and driveshaft change it's water pump draw tube that becomes the hassle. Lots of options though

    40hp Dead Top Cylinder

    You say the same things over and over and over and over.....I feel sleepy. Reeds don't follow carbs....I can't even remember what your problem is. All's I know is you have gas on your hands and you were advised to....what? Best to go see Mr Evinrude service man.

    Sputtering out and dying

    What you say is true the fuel pump is not going to help. Pretty sure you just tried too many things on this motor instead of focusing on what was really wrong.

    Evinrude 50 impeller

    I use snot....with dirt. I loan and borrow my friends tools constantly. Always returned better than when I or they got them. It's a West Coast thing! 😆 Seriously though, if it's a nice motor, go by the book. If it's one that you brought back to life with an unknown life expectations? Use...

    Sputtering out and dying

    After it dies what do the spark plugs say to you...."we are wet? Or, man we're dry!" Does it lean sneeze and die or other.... Try choke or cupping carb/fuel spray? Right now you are guessing and throwing parts at it, you sound desperate. I'm sure Mr Wilson will chime in soon.

    Evinrude 50 impeller

    Any miracle goo in a tube but best to use marine grade. I find these work well to hold the gearcase if needed.
