    1990 Evinrude 150 VE150SLESB Power Trim/Tilt Sensor

    I am trying to find a part number for this switch on my motor as it has stopped working. I can?t find it in the drawings on Evinrude?s site. The switch ohm?s out open no matter the position of the lever and the gauge pegs out when I short the two wires from the switch that go to the gauge. Any...

    1990 Evinrude 150 STILL DROPS #4 and #6

I have other posts about this but they are to long. I have put some bucks into this problem but I...

    Evinrude 150 Spark Plug Wires

    I just replaced my spark plug wires and now I have no spark to my pugs! I made up my own wires with a kit reusing my old boots. I used new copper ignition wire.

    1990 Evinrude 150 Intake Check Valves??

    What is the purpose of the 6 check valves on the intake? (They don?t come with the carb kits do they?) I pulled my carburetors last night for rebuilding and I am considering replacing the check valves as well (or can I just remove and clean them?). She?s been very hesitant on start ups and...

    Evinrude 175 will not go after trolling

    I have a 1990 Evinrude 175. I have had the same quirk with it for the two years that I have been running it but it is now getting worse. When the engine runs at idle for any length of time it gets a little rough. Then when I start out to run at faster speeds it just sputters. It will go back to...
