    Heat

    Well the mudslide sounds good in either season. Problem is I work outside for the most part all year long. I try to save any inside projects for January & February but it doesn’t always pan out. At least when is cold I can add another layer. I can only shed so many layers in the summer before...

    Heat

    It’s cloudy here today on Martha’s Vineyard and will will only be 80 today but the humidity is at 92% and thats what gets me. You break a sweat just walking around let alone having to work in this. I’ll take cold and dry over hot and humid any day.

    1973 Johnson 50hp need some advise please.

    You would get slightly higher numbers warm but it can be done cold. The thing is if your numbers are truly low in one cylinder it’s best to find out why now as you may have minor damage that is repairable. If you keep running it it’s only going to get worse.

    Agreed on the gas for cleaning. It would be like doing your laundry with out detergent.

    1973 Johnson 50hp need some advise please.

    Do the compression test again with a fully charged battery and check the low cylinder first just to confirm the numbers. If there the same it’s time to start investigating to see why.

    trouble with bendix or potential other issue

    Check you wiring connections. Maybe when it was tilted it provided a tighter connection. It’s a long shot but doesn’t cost you anything to check it out.

    No water from Tell Tail.

    Try fishing a pice of weed wacker line in the tell tail hose. It could just be clogged up.

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    Maybe it’s just me but your spark is very yellow and looks weak. A good cleaning of the points and everything else around them may just get you going.

    Am I getting water of of fuel path Properly 150's J150VXCIS 2001 carbed 150'

    I have been threatening to get one of the drainable sight bowls for some time now. I just replace my filter every season but it would be nice to know just how much work it does. I think the time has come. Gasoila is great for finding water in gas if you suspect your supplier.

    Am I getting water of of fuel path Properly 150's J150VXCIS 2001 carbed 150'

    If your tanks are a pain to remove and you have an air compressor you could make a vacuum with an air gun a T fitting and a length of hose using the venturi effect. Just a thought

    1975 9.9 sea horse

    What’s with all the metal dust around the coils. If the stuff is on the points they are far from clean.

    Adding charging system to 1997 evinrude 25 hp

    All the needed components are big money to do this. Your best bet would be to find a parts motor that has other issues. The research you need to do is cross referencing your model number with a parts motor model number.

    What is necessary for jet change of .002 of an inch?

    Maybe look into the strength of your spark after the 7 mins and see what it’s doing. Maybe something is over heating and your dropping that cylinder.

    Tell tale getting clogged '96 200hp Oceanrunner

    I’m not familiar with your model but can say I removed mine years ago and just run a longer section of hose that sticks out an 1” or so but I don’t have to deal with clogs anymore.

    Gas Tank Removal 4hp

    Looks to be a 79 model. You can look for a parts diagram to help guide you through the removal process. Might even find one here on IBoats. Just enter your model number on a parts page. Best

    I’m at a loss - Evinrude 40

    The timing light would be for looking for a miss. Nothing to do with the timing. A proper through link and sync procedure may help you to be sure butterfly opens when it should as opposed to how it should. You have nothing to lose by doing it.

    1984 Johnson 35hp tell tale at idle

    Yea it’s time for a water pump kit. That impeller is toast. They should be soft and pliable and the fins should be straight. What you have is called set and you don’t want that. The tips looked burned as well so it was likely run dry at some point and melted the housing. Imagine back in the...
