    Send us a picture of the area where you put the shift shaft back together. Did you loose the small plastic keeper?

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Probably more ways to test the vro, but one way is to run with a portable fuel tank at a measured amount with 50 to 1 in it just to make sure it doesn't burn up the motor and then do a measured amount of two stroke oil going into the vro. You then high idle it and do the calculations to see if...

    Evinrude Model J6RCRM Prop Shaft does not touch F/N/D shift selector

    Not sure what you did, but there is normally no reason to pull the shift shaft for most of the seals. When I remove by accident, I loosen the two screws holding the carrier together and pull it out a 1/4 inch or so then push the shift shaft in. Once I know its in where it needs to be, I tighten...

    Not sure you can install it wrong really. Did you turn the shift shaft stub that comes out of the gearcase maybe? Is this tiller or a remote motor?

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Agreed, less worrying and more diagnostics. Just compression as it lays will give you a general idea. Stop running this motor and determine if this is a lean running issue like I believe you already know.

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Now it's time to figure out whether it's spark or fuel. Personally, is get rid of those plugs and buy champions but others will disagree. Either way I'd start by doing a spark JUMP test and if tests fine go on to fuel.

    1986 johnson 20hp tiller electrix start

    Standard lead acid battery, group 24 should be fine or step up to a G 27. Don't start it with an old impeller, it may fail and get rubber bits up in the cooling passages.

    Evinrude 25hp outboard wants to die when I give it gas

    I would agree....carb nut trick is used by many mechanics and an Evinrude dealer mechanic showed me years ago. Do it or not, makes no difference to me. Best of luck to you

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Or, since water doesn't go through it, the gasket insulates it from the hotter aluminum. Two ways to look at it.

    Didn't see any water nipples on the rectifier....maybe I'm wrong.

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Not aware of a rectifier gasket....if there is one it's there to keep it cooler I'm guessing. Use anything really. Still sounds fuel related. Run motor...let it die and check the plugs.

    40hp Johnson blows 20a fuse when key is turned

    I couldn't pull up your diagram but here it clearly shows that wire is NOT connected to the solenoid. https://maxrules.com/graphics/omc/wiring/40_50_UFI.jpg

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Your tach could be having issues because of the screwed up rectifier.....try some 50 to 1 fuel in a spray bottle and see if that keeps it going. When you remove the plugs what story does the engine tell you?

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    I believe this is a standard carbureted vro system....no injectors or lift pump, correct?

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Sounds like you sucked up some crap in the fuel system. Any fuel filters? How old was the fuel?
