    what is it with spark plug $$$$

    I buy QL77JC4 in bulk and save a little dough but not much. The latest place I purchased from had just picked up 14,000 from Wall Mart. Apparently Wall Mart doesn't want to be in the outboard part business!😆

    Little thingy with red lever

    And that my friends (above advice) is about the best thing you can do when you buy a new to me outboard motor.

    If you have patience and time you will be able to achieve your goals. Lots of help here so the best of luck to you and if you ever get frustrated walk away from the project and come back later, always works for me. Matt

    2-GT 200 Johnsons

    Omc/Evinrude made design changes between 1991 and 1992 at least in the small motors...not sure with your HP motor. Best thing to do is look up the parts diagram with part numbers and check to see if each motor matches. If your lucky you can change the drive shaft and shift rod.....a little...

    1996 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp--engine keeps quitting on start-up

    One thing I do is pull the plugs, run the starter and blow everything out (gas, oil, whatever), inspect the plugs and if they look ok I spray them out, run a stainless brush over them, re-gap them and burn them out slightly with a plumbers torch rolling them the hole time. Most of the time I...

    1996 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp--engine keeps quitting on start-up

    Just an example of my ability to get a used motor. It's about 1 mile from my house. Even if it's dead the parts alone are worth grabbing it. (Port side temp sensor)! Great northwest has lots of used motors so might be somewhat unfair.

    Evinrude 1994 150

    If your running mixed gas you shouldn't have any undiluted oil in there. Post pictures of every side of the engine focusing on the vro pump. Is the oil bottle still in the boat?

    Evinrude 1994 150

    Did you read and answer all of Racerone's responses. Oil related. Don't run the motor. Might want to do a compression test now. His most serious question, are you putting in 50/1 gas in your tank or relying on your oil pump? This is an oil related issue, hence the oil alarm. Simple to fix...

    1996 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp--engine keeps quitting on start-up

    From what I remember, the red valve is to be used when hand pulling a motor with a low battery. In my old 90 if it was cold....it didn't really work but if even slight warm I could get it running. Those were the days when my young strong arm could complete the task. Not sure about today or if I...

    Unsure of year model

    Remove cowling. (Outboard cover), take picture of engine. Or follow where it pees out...the rubber hose where it goes into the engine (block). I'm wondering, do you not speak English? Something weird here. Good luck with your motor.

    something new coming in electric OB

    I hate to wake up the horse...... Definitely high on the cool factor, but pricy. Constantly looking more feasible. https://www.boatingmag.com/boats/mercury-avator-20e-and-35e-electric-outboards/

    Unsure of year model

    What racerone means, does the tell tale exit the block off the side or off the top of the block....that's the service upgrade. Remove cowling and post pictures. Could be a stolen motor, be careful.

    Unsure of year model

    I'm going to call it an 80's motor.

    1996 Evinrude Vindicator 200hp--engine keeps quitting on start-up

    If you want to gently poke something up there your most likely not going to hurt anything, if it unplugs something you will need to remove the carbs and clean/rebuild or if you do my test it might lead you on to the oil problem. Check or discover, diagnose, fix....move on. I wish I could...

    New motor!

    I have an e-tec....because I fish and boat mainly in Puget Sound (don't know where that is? Look it up, Puget Sound in Washington state) and the Pacific Ocean I mainly troll with my big motor. I always have a "kicker" next to the big motor just in case the ocean wants to slam me into big jagged...
