    will someone help me ?

    Model number is 5402B. 5 indicates 5.5hp. 4 is the year 1964. 0 means rope start. 2 means short shaft. B indicates any mid-year changes, if there were any. Serial number is E11157. E means it was assembled at the Evinrude plant. (Yes, some Evinrudes were assemble at the Johnson plant.

    1960 Evinrude Fastwin Stutter

    The new coils may be dragging on the flywheel magnets, causing the throttle to back off. A simple matter of adjustment. There also is a tapered friction block in the twist grip (or supposed to be) That motor is lean sneezing. Lack of fuel, carb synchronization, etc.

    OMC 6 Gal Cruse a Day tank

    Good question, and not 100% sure I know the correct answer. One thing I do know is that the number back in 1963 was 307858 and it was an O-ring, not a quad ring. Now fast forward to 2022 and it is entirely possible that 307858 might be superseded by 0332488 and it may well be a quad ring---I...

    1976 25hp Johnson ignition question

    It is the recoil starter lockout. Prevents starting in gear.

    1971 Johnson 60 HP No Spark.

    A pulse every 120 degrees is correct. However, that is not the diagram for the ignition system your motor came with. The spark is sent to the proper cylinder by the distributor rotor.

    1971 Johnson 60 HP No Spark.

    There are 3 lobes on the cam for the 3 cylinders. One set of points "makes" the circuit, other set "breaks" the circuit. Easy to see if you watch them closely while slowly rotating the crank.

    1962 Johnson 5.5 hp questions

    24:1 w/ 87 octane is correct. Some will argue. Once the knobs are set, no need to mess with them anymore, except possible a little tweak in case of temperature / altitude variations, etc.

    1959 35hp Evinrude lark solenoid

    Taking a closer look at the picture in post #8, I think I see the problem. The wire is burned off the little post on one of the mercury switches, right?

    1959 35hp Evinrude lark solenoid

    We both seem to be confusing each other. Is this the diagram you are using? Look at the solenoid. Notice that one white wire runs from the key switch to one of the small solenoid terminals. The other small solenoid terminal has a white wire leading to one of the mercury switches. That is...

    1959 35hp Evinrude lark solenoid

    There are two switches (tubes) on one bracket. Only one has anything to do with starting. Test One: Retard throttle to slow position. Does it crank now? If yes, that was the problem. Test two: Ground the wire leading to the switch. Does it crank now? If yes, switch (or wires) is bad...

    1973 Evinrude 65 hp

    Unless it has already been repaired, which I doubt, that motor is in need of a teardown and rebuild. There is no other way.

    1959 35hp Evinrude lark solenoid

    So what you are saying is that you are connecting your voltmeter to the two small solenoid terminals, and seeing a voltage when you turn the key, is that correct? Try this: Check voltage from one of the small terminals to ground. Then check voltage from the other small terminal to ground...

    1959 35hp Evinrude lark solenoid

    It could be the solenoid, I suppose. But probably not. I suggest further testing. Does the boat still have the original junction box, etc? EDIT: Correct solenoid is part #378444. Do NOT run out and buy a durn car (Ford) solenoid. They are not the same.
