    something new coming in electric OB

    Yes, but they just announced a wind tax on all sailboats world wide....they said the reason for the tax is everyone is "stealing the wind" so it's just not fair to take a natural resource for free that the governments all own. News at 11:00

    something new coming in electric OB

    One last pic and comment before the horse is dead for good. Found this today and not sure it's real. If it is it's a pretty cool vintage outboard.

    1987 Evinrude 9.9 No Spark On Both Cylinders

    Puring like a kitten....unless you have some expensive Dyno or a really large test tank the boat is what your left with. Pretty sure your going to be okay.

    115 Crossflow Stripped Important Bolt

    I agree that experience gives you a 6th sense of tightening non critical bolts....or unloosening as well. All the critical or larger torquing bolts I use a torque wrench. If I worked for a OEM shop with newer outboards I would probably go by the book. Code changed for residential local...

    something new coming in electric OB

    But a gas tank permanently fixed in a boat is ok? Writing on the wall says this is going to happen like it or not. It is fun to debate it though. Crosby, your the man!

    tiller throttle won't turn unless you push on linkage

    From what I understand the porting and other stuff is different. Just fix it up and leave it alone. Here is one I did.

    I think it said 30....so I'm wondering, 30 miles out and 30 miles back? Wishful speaking I suppose.

    something new coming in electric OB

    From what I understand they now come with a flux capacitor. Stuff a little trash in the feeder tube and fish all week! Crosby, I hope before I go to the next world I'll get to drive one. Thanks for sharing.

    tiller throttle won't turn unless you push on linkage

    It has a neutral lock. While off, gently turn the prop while shifting it into gear and see if your problem goes away. If you tried that already undo the throttle cable and see if it moves freely. If so the assembly under the flywheel needs cleaning/lubing. Send us a picture of this little...

    tiller throttle won't turn unless you push on linkage

    Normally, a new cable. You can purchase a cable luber at a motorcycle store.....clamps on to the outside sleeve at the end sealing it and you shoot wd40 down the little straw hole. It could be that your hardware under the flywheel is gunked up. Remove flywheel, inspect, clean and lube...

    Agreed, many starters out there. Brush kits are available and their somewhat simple to go through and clean.

    115 Crossflow Stripped Important Bolt

    Yes, only fix is to do it right. If the motor was affected then you have a problem. Remove intake, fix bolt hole, clean and inspect everything....re-install. You may want to do a compression check first to see if you burned anything up. I wish you well.
