    Spun Prop

    If turning the needles all the way makes no difference at all. they are not actually going "all the way". It shouldn't run at all with the high speed knob turned all the way in. I suspect the knob limiters are preventing enough range. Remove the knobs and set the needles to best running...

    1974 Evinrude 115hp v4

    Wouldn't it be difficult or impossible to cut and solder the pipes? I mean, aren't they way up inside there? Replacing the pipes is a big job, requiring powerhead removal. I've managed to salvage the old pipes by reshaping the ends as well as possible and using grommets

    How much water?

    Fallacy---a deceptive, misleading, or false notion, belief, etc.: Fallacy---running a drill on the drive shaft will tell if the pump is working. Not really. A running motor blows the water out of the area where the pump is located, leaving the pump surrounded by air (exhaust) rather than...

    How much water?

    How are you putting muffs on it???? The water intake is the screen on the forward edge of the underwater exhaust outlet. Even so, you cannot test a water pump by running on muffs. It isn't "pumping" as you are doing that--only allowing hose water to pass through. Get that thing in a...

    Absolutely normal. It is coming from the drain holes for the drive shaft isolation tube.

    What is this hole

    A lean sneeze is when the fuel/air mixture explodes in the crankcase and sounds like a man-sized hiccup. A backfire is when the fuel mix explodes in the exhaust system and goes off with a bang. If it is running, it likely is lean sneezing rather than backfiring.

    What is this hole

    There is a cavity behind that hole. The hole drains that cavity so water doesn't sit in there and freeze or cause corrosion. Above that area is the exhaust tube. Guess where that Sea Foam went? Yep, out the exhaust ports, down through the exhaust tube, and puddled up in the cavity drained by...

    1966 johnson 6hp oil return hose nipple

    Even if no other obstructions or bends, anything stuck into the lower nipple would hit the crankshaft. Without having an open one in front of me, I believe the upper nipple connects to the intake manifold, which applies a bit of vacuum to the hose, which sucks oil up from the lower bearing when...

    1964 Meteor 90 HP

    The water inlet is the screen aft of the propeller. The big round hole at the question mark is drain hole for the drive shaft isolation tube. Muffs do not work on this motor. There was a Tempo Flushette made for it "back when". Lotsa luck finding one now.

    Water coming out mid section

    That water coming out behind the lower mount is normal and intended. It is supposed to do that. If it didn't, there would be a problem.
