    2 Stroke Oldie Evinrude.-

    All those mentioned parts were previously removed days ago and still undergoing a WD-40 long soak. It's a mystery to determine which ones are severely seized and which not. If the powerhead and the tank's fuel shut valve can't be unlocked would be out of this world to buy other spare parts...

    Yamaha 90hp light temperature in tach

    Is it a fresh or salt water use, how old is it, does the slow rpm mode triggers when at say half to full wot rpm range, what about the sound alarm is it audible or not ? Happy Boating

    2 Stroke 2 HP Evinrude/Johnson motor... The only number found on the entire motor is this one : Couldn't find a complete powerhead gasket kit, only spare ones. Do you happen to know which spare parts are included in the carb kit which it's readily available, there's no reference whatsoever...

    Flywheel material?

    Flywheels are darn expensive for what they are, surely the integrated magnets accounts for skyrocketing the final price, check at a scrap yard second, third hand ones it's the best option. Happy Boating

    electric start motor for Tohatsu 8, 9.8 hp 4 stroke

    No outboard manufacturer fabricates 100% of the parts needed for their own motors to work, other parts such as coils, CDI, etc are manufactured by third parties, but usually only available through each OB manufacturer. Who said boating was a cheap water sport.... Happy Boating

    50-1 Mix in a new 4 stroke

    How many pre mixed gallons are still sitting in the tank ? Add the same amount of pure gasoline to lower the ratio to 100:1, will smoke much less..... Happy Boating

    2 Stroke Oldie Evinrude.-

    Congrats, but probably not heavily seized as this 2 HP motor. Assume the piston and rings were the only ones that were seized, which product was used for soaking and for how long. Where can I get an Owner's Manual for the 2 HP motor, first motor seeing having 2 slow and high needles ? Happy Boating

    Tohatsu 25hp vs 30hp? Repower

    You'll be surprised what a correct prop maximization can do for your old boat, all my motors were correctly propped to run towards their max wot rpm range factory stated, those motors came factory delivered with a prop that didn't do their respective homework right. Now it's a day/night boating...

    Isn't known if the piston it's the only mechanical component that's severely seized, could have both upper and lower crank shaft's bearings and connecting rod severely seized too. WD-40 did nothing aside washing dirt, with removed powerhead this oldie needs a full day long soak in a deep...

    Tohatsu 25hp vs 30hp? Repower

    If the motor doesn't come with a prop check with Merc's Prop Calculator which should be your starting prop, just fill the requested data, buy a prop and check the max wot rpm achieved as loaded. From there can fine tune the prop. On 4 strokes 25 to 30 HP conversions costs huge more than the...

    Just a question

    That motor must have something which holds the gear case's shift rod onto the lower leg, if so, must disconnect it prior dropping the lower leg or will wonder what the...is happening... Happy Boating

    Carb Progress : Managed to remove both heavily stuck main carb needles after a short soak in paint thinner, although both were polished the bodies looks awful but both needle's tips are in excellent working shape, what scared me off were the huge prices for just 2 carb parts being the latter a...

    Tohatsu 25hp vs 30hp? Repower

    Yep, max it's much better specially if will be carrying more load on a larger boat. After break in period ends check with a tach if the motor revs at least middle to max of their wot rpm range if comes factory delivered with a prop for better water performance as loaded. What's the price...

    Yep definitely a Pandora Oldie with no sticker information, is there a stamped serial number to look for ? if so, where that might be ? Have checked current shown carb against severeal others 2 HP ones and that carb corresponds to a 2HP 2802R/1978 model year, on all previous years the cam...

    Came to my hands this oldie motor, a real challenge to revive and put back into full operation like used to work in the good old boating days. Scenario : Seems to be a 2 HP 1978 year model motor with direct prop drive. To begin with the motor was found seized, with removed starter assy and...

    electric start motor for Tohatsu 8, 9.8 hp 4 stroke

    Will surely need a Rectifier for the 12 V battery, a fuse wire and fuse along a min + 40 Amp 12 volt battery. It's a costly conversion which I wouldn't dare going for, not even in dreams. LOL!! Happy Boating

    Converting 18 hp Nissan to electric start

    If going for Tohatsu OEM spare parts, the conversion costs exceeds what comes right after "bit expensive territory" that's easily a one grand going from manual to electric start conversion. The dented flywheel alone costs + $400.00. If the motor is healthy and well tuned should rope start with...
