    1969 25 Hp Johnny Rude/Kicker?

    I had a 72 6hp that was unstoppable. It even went for a swim once. It was only under for a minute as I went in after it and I think we reached the bottom at the same time. A good fresh water rinse and a carb clean an she was running as usual. I had for another 5 years after that before...

    1993 Evinrude 60hp

    Are you certain it’s gear oil and not unburned fuel and oil from a cylinder that’s cutting out? Just a thought

    1968 33 HP Evinrude.

    When I was a kid I took marine mechanics at a vocational school. We often took in motors that were taken apart by their owners and were dropped off in box’s. It’s was a nightmare but at the same time we learned a lot.

    1975 Johnson 25hp compatibility

    Agreed again. I missed that part and it would be worth pulling the trigger.

    1975 Johnson 25hp compatibility

    Agreed you should check to see if your prop is slipping before pulling the trigger on a lower. You can mark the prop and the hub and take her for a spin if your marks are no longer aligned you know you have a spun hub.

    1966 Jonhson 9.5 rust around exhaust cover

    Any chance there was a mouse nest there or something else that looked like it could have been corrosive?

    BRP Engine Tuner ?

    Or even in neutral for that matter. Things can go wrong at high rpm’s with no load. Use common sense here. Wait until your on the lake to open er up.

    What temp is it tripping at and where are you taking that temp from? Do you plan on replacing the sensor?

    15HP 93 2 Stroke Evinrude Won’t Start Warm

    Sometimes trouble shooting means doing something that you find didn’t need to be done and the only thing you accomplished was checking it off the list and moving forward. Best

    15HP 93 2 Stroke Evinrude Won’t Start Warm

    Have you pulled the head for inspection yet? Your compression is low in my opinion.

    engine wont accellerate

    This just reminded of a friend that put a long shaft motor on a Jon boat with a 15” transom. I warned him it wouldn’t be safe but he did it anyway. He ended up skipping across the pond and getting ejected from the boat. Of course he wasn’t wearing the lanyard either “Jackass” and it ran wild...

    Need advise on 1991 48 HP Special Evinrude

    Just to Incase you were expecting the tilt assist to lift the motor it will not. It will only assist in making it easier to lift. On the down fall it will assist you in controlling the drop and you can stop it anywhere you like by turning the lever. I can’t help you in finding a seal but if you...

    Did you do a link and sync? What’s wrong with the 88’s that makes them to far gone? Sorry I don’t have the answer to your question.

    Let us know your compression numbers and what you did to fix the cam follower. Both very important to start for starting.

    1987 Johnson 15 no spark

    What was the reason for the carb rebuild? We’re you having problems? Did you use a kit and if so what kinda was it? Maybe squirt some fuel mix in the carb and see if it will bark at you.

    Evinrude Big Twin 35

    If you don’t need to unload it I would hang on to it. The only only problems they had were lack of maintenance and it sounds like that was not a problem. They do like to drink the fuel but parts are still available and cheap and easy to find both new and used. They were made when things were...
