    Evinrude/Johnson engine tuner

    I've used engine tuner, my brothers 85 hp johnson wouldn't run well. After I rebuilt the carbs, synk and link, timing it was pretty good. Still not as well as I thought it should be even though he said it was fine. I sprayed the stuff in, let her sit for a couple beers and went for a good run...

    Evinrude 4hp frozen solid

    Looks like you ground the bolt, but it is recessed in the housing I think. You may have to dremmel the rest of the head off or drill it to remove the head of the bolt.

    Oil Leak?

    I agree with the above. If that was gear oil, it's very dirty being that black. I've seen dirty gear oil, usually because it's never changed. I assume you change it yearly at this point?

    Fuel delivery head scratcher

    A lot of inboards have calves to switch from one tank to another. Or use each independent of each other for each motor. Do you have them? And are they turned on correctly?

    Gear Oil in UJoint Bellows

    Fix it. Low gear oil blows the upper gearcase. There should be a video in the stickies at the top of the forums.

    Electric prop rotation

    Not sure if polarity will harm it myself. If you do what I said it will work. If you insist on leaving it the way it is, I'd charge with the battery unhooked.

    Remanufactured Carb recommendations

    This is a carb bowl I was working on. Was going to rebuild it as the owner said it ran funny. This carb did not leak fuel, till I cleaned out the bowl. It was pitted beyond repair. Holes the size of toothpicks.

    1977 dodge motorette motorhome, hard starting.

    As the title reads, this rig is starting hard in cold weather. 318 motor. Little backstory: When we went to check out the rig, it was early spring, it cranked slow, but after messing around cleaning connections, and jump starting, it fired up ok. Bad starter. Replaced that the same day as...
