    1954 18 hp Evinrude Fasttwin Frothy Exhaust

    Yeah, it's not a '54. Nevertheless, that goop is totally normal. It is unburned fuel and oil that has gone through the engine and out the exhaust. You are running it in a barrel, which collects it and churns and emulsifies it into oily foam. Not only that it most likely is cold and not...

    Evinrude 85 hp question

    If it runs, the compression is enough to operate the fuel pump. Assuming the piston is not blown out of that cylinder. But you say it has 80 psi, so that is not the case.

    58 QD-19 surprise

    Be sure to check the drive shaft bushing just above the pinion gear. They have a nasty habit of wearing, causing side-ways slop in the shaft and improper gear teeth mesh.

    Bolts ?

    The grease will work as well as anything.

    Where to start

    3/4 turns open on the high speed and 1-1/2 on the slow speed will get it running. Adjust from there, once running. "Extra" oil from what? 50:1 is normal spec. 24:1 won't hurt, but necessity is a matter of opinion.

    1968 Evinrude 40HP Lark Cuts Out When Running Lights Turned On

    My guess is that you are grounding the running lights through the ignition kill wires. DON'T do that. Running lights should not be connected to the motor wiring. Run separate fused wires from the battery to power the lights.

    Removing Cylinder Head 1960 18hp Lightwin.

    Chose a protruding place on the head (such as the thermostat housing) and use a large screwdriver as a pry bar between there and the block.

    Tiller Conversions Seahorse 35

    Actually, it is used on a whole lot of 35-40-28-33-50-75 motors 1955 into the 1970's, with minor variations.

    That is a 1959. 1960 was 40hp. EDIT: This is the classic 1958 Super Sea Horse.

    Tiller Conversions Seahorse 35

    Coils ARE shot unless they have already been replaced. The tiller was an accessory. People used to remove them and throw them away or use them for a catfish club. Now everybody is looking for those old catfish clubs. 1958 Super Sea Horse 35 had great styling and is a desirable classic, if...

    50473m 50hp evinrude lark ignition wiring diagram

    The new switch you pictured is for a push-to-choke system, accounting for the extra terminals. Your motor did not have push-to-choke, but a toggle switch instead. Not only that, but there was a choke modification service bulletin on it. That is not to say you can't use it, just need to know...

    Flywheel material?

    Modifying flywheels must be one of the most dangerous things you can do. I used to know a man that had one explode in his face. Resulted in skull and brain damage.

    72' 50hp electric shift issue

    Yep, it was advertised as a fail-safe feature. If anything went wrong with the system, such as loss of electrical power, it automatically goes into forward gear so you can get back home. People still get scared of "electric shift". Better not ride in a modern car then. Most of them have some...
