    No it's not. The 2 pictures above are from one motor. Port and starboard side.

    Yamaha 50

    Trying to verify years here..... Not sure why Yamaha makes it so tough. The 50 HP on the tag says 6h5L590258. 50ILHU and he was told 1996 The 40 has these tags and he thought it was an 1994. Looks like a 1984 to me, anyone know?

    Yamaha 50

    Got a call from a friend last night and he has a 1996 Yamaha 50 HP 2 stroke with a bum gearcase. (50ilhu) he picked up this 1994 40 HP and wants me to help with swap over the lower unit. Anyone know if these two motors aren't compatible? Let me know. Thanks, Matt

    Wont start. '89 evinrude 70hp

    Well you now know you at least have a bad plug wire. You will need a multi meter and one of these inexpensive spark jump testers.

    Please help, no spark and so lost

    Possibly your new parts are defective and a broken wire can be time consuming to find. Take a break and when your tester arrives trouble shoot from the top until you find the culprit.

    Evinrude 9.5 vs 8hp speed test

    We raced the Evinrude 9.9 against their 9.8 on water skimmers and they always won...then my uncle showed us that the 15 cowl would fit on the 9.9 motor. They could never figure out how we could beat them!

    1971 Evinrude fisherman, not pumping water

    Try unscrewing the threaded barbed adapter off the block for the pea tube and see if water blasts through there, otherwise remove thermo and then water jackets and head if needed. You could be plugged up.

    Temperature alarm goes off as soon as you turn on the ignition.

    Assuming you still have your bro you might want to bleed out your oil lines coming from the tank.

    Old Johnson 3hp

    You can clean it in place if it doesn't want to come out....carb spray cleaner and I use torch tip cleaners. Also, get a small spray bottle with 50 to 1 in it and when it begins to die squirt a little into the carb.

    Evinrude 9.5 vs 8hp speed test

    The 8 HP will move an 11 boat pretty fast once on a plane. Top end will be similar but out of the hole the 9.9 will be better. Block size, carb bigger on the 9.9 so it makes sense. If you fish and stuff the 8 is the motor to have

    98 Johnson leaking hydraulic fluid.

    I said pump not motor....if motor spins than most likely it's fine. The whole rebuild kit is the way to go.

    Assistance with 1984 8HP Evinrude

    Yes there is no adjustment on the outboard. Look to see if something is blocking the shifter handle otherwise your reverse gear may be shot. Used lower units are a dime a dozen for that model. To remove, just undo the 3 lower bolts and slide the unit down and off. If it doesn't want to come...

    Please help, no spark and so lost

    Sounds like you already disabled the kill. (Removed two wires) The coil under the fly is all there is left to do.

    It doesn't matter....cutting one wire will disable it. Are the coils grounded? If yes then you will need to test the components under the flywheel.
