    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    I'm assuming it's part number 25, 38 and 2 making the connection. Not sure what that does. I do know that when tilted the floats will allow fuel to pass and flow out the carbs. Let's see what the masters say.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Must be a failed check valve in that line but others will be better able to confirm. Either way it must be gas mixed with oil.

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Your outboard should be using pre-mixed 50 to 1 fuel so where is the oil coming from? It should be mixed oil and gas and it's quite normal to drip out of the carbs when tilted up.

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    Well 15 gallons on an older carberated 115 doesn't last long. (In comparison I have 37 gallons on a Etec 115) There used to be a formula for gallons per hour on two strokes based on cylinders and throttle. Anyhow, maybe you were low on fuel and just sucked up some air loosing power and then it...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    The 6 HP and the 8 hp have the same block so it wouldn't matter. They just let the motor spin up more with carberation and intake. Are you using your 4 on the rubber boat? I still think all the barrell running and lugging it on the rubber boat has fouled it up. It's either that or you have the...

    Proper Manual ? ?

    Not sure but omc made quite a few changes in 91 to 92. I just saw an 1989 one online a few minutes ago.

    Proper Manual ? ?

    In smaller motors there is quite a difference between 1994 and 1989 but many things will be the same. Hope this helps.

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    A two battery system is always better and I wouldn't be caught without them. With a two battery selection switch whatever battery needs charging you just switch too. Still doesn't explain why your motor bogged down.

    The 17 volt thing seems to have many opinions online. Certainly doesn't explain why your motor went down. 2 strokes love WOT......
