    160...170 is starting to get to hot. Should be around 140 maybe less at idle. You will see little droplets coming out the exhaust

    Outboard top cylinder getting hot

    Somehow I doubt the motor had 150 psi when it left the factory floor but maybe....a used motor should not test to 150. Something feels wrong with your test. That being said, sounds like you have crud in your head. Remove head and check. Someone knew it had a problem and tried fixing it by...

    Embarrassing question

    50 to 1 will be 16 ounces per 6 gallons of gas not what was mentioned before. Also, just like Racerone recommended, compression test. It will give you indications if you have internal damage

    Not peeing

    Pull this fitting off the block and start it up and see if water squirts out....I've scene them plug behind it. Also, buy an IR gun and shoot the head and see if it's overheating.

    1980 Evinrude 70hp Coil question, leaking clear/brown goo

    issues with 89 30hp Evinrude

    Here's my 1985 right after I put a new fuel pump in it ...there's a service bulletin on my year to run the timing up 1/4 to 1/2 past the marks before the carbs open when doing the linc and sync....used to cough at going from idle to wot.

    issues with 89 30hp Evinrude

    Just because it pumps water doesn't mean it's flowing around the engine. Sounds like an overheat...do not run this motor until you find out what's wrong. These are easy motors to work on.

    Yamaha 50

    On the 40 I think it's an 87 or 84... L being the model year designation. The 50 must be a TLHU but I'm trying to get that verified....which I think equates to a 1996
