    1996 Johnson 50. Not starting, backfiring only. Primer issue

    I would triple check the coil wires from the power pack to the coils. Orange/blue (sky) top coil orange/green (grass) bottom coil. 9 out of 10 times on here that is what's wrong when someone posts the scenario you describe.

    1996 25 HP 3 cylinder

    Here is the parts breakdown for this motor. No sign of a vro or oil pump. Everything looks factory and the owner is a very old man that would appear to keep everything stock. Original paperwork, nice stand and the motor was polished clean...

    1996 25 HP 3 cylinder

    I have the opportunity to buy a 25 evinrude 3 cylinder 2 stroke. I've had many 2 cyl 2 strokes but not the three. Any known quirks I should know about? I'm thinking they probably idle slightly better. E25KLEDG Anyhow, let me know.

    1985 evinrude 8hp impeller removal problem.

    I'm surprised you just "pushed the shift shaft" and it went into place. I have to loosen the two screws holding the gears in, slipping it out a little and then drop the shaft. I have no idea how you got it to drop.

    Sea King 3

    I'm going to put it in a barrel soon but just pulling it it seems fine. Salt water environment yet it's as clean as a whistle. I read something about 24 to 1 but I'm thinking with modern oils I can probably go leaner. Looks like it's a 1958

    Sea King 3

    Just picked this cute little thing up at a garage sale for $20. Anyone know the year and if I were to keep it should I touch up the paint scratches? Also with modern day oils what oil ratio would you use. Any other info would be muchly appreciated. Matt

    Merk 15 who needs to buy a new parts

    Mine says 0 views....not sure why it filmed sideways but I could see everything I needed to see. It's a 1992 Merc 15 and it runs great. Need some clamps and a new tiller. Looks like I can use a 15, 9.9 and an 8. I believe this tiller was the kind that as you advance the throttle it puts it in...

    Unknown year

    I got this Merc 15 and don't know the year. Serial number is very hard to read. Thinking it's an 80's motor but not sure. Can anyone identify the year?

    Evinrude 4 HP deluxe

    Hi, I have a 1989 four horsepower deluxe. It has the locking and unlocking mechanism for the tilt but it doesn't seem to have a tilt lock when it's in the fully upright position. I went to the parts break down and I couldn't see any locking levers. Did this motor not come with one? Matt

    Motor turns over but won’t start

    I would take it out and do circles until it craps out on you and then do a spark jump test. If no spark then start testing components or broken wire/short.
