    1977 Evinrude 35hp Corrosion

    Im thinking may get a few more good years out that block before the gasket sealing surface is compromised. But as mentioned it really should come apart to help unsure any chance at long term survival. If you don’t break anything you may get away with reusing everything after its been cleaned...

    This coming out of 1975 Johnson 115 lower unit.

    That could be just very old oil As Racerone says a pressure test is needed.

    Do you have enough room to weld a nut to the broken bolt?

    1960 Evinrude 18

    In my eyes don’t fix what’s not broken. It’s normal to see an oil sheen in a barrel especially at 25:1. Those motors sell in my area Cape Cod Ma for around $300 to $400 but as with anything it’s worth what someone is willing to pay. Condition is everything and it sounds like this one is in...

    1977 Evinrude 175hp. Is it worth fixing?

    On the right track. Get some lube in the cylinders for your spark test even it it’s just Wd-40. And have fun with the project.

    Method to repair damaged crank/ flywheel key?

    These are good plans. I feel like either may do the trick. It’s worth a try you got nothin to lose right?

    1989 Evinrude 140hp rough idle

    I think he’s talking about the primmer bulb on the fuel line from the tank. FYI my bulb is after the water separator and I don’t have any problems.

    E90TLESB - Son-In-Law's boat. Runs good but has to squirt Premix!

    What is your starting procedure? I have seen oil come in red, blue, green and purple. They may even be more colorful oil out there.

    1986 Johnson 30 water pump

    You can lap it your self. It means to flatten the head. Use a pice of glass or polished stone or a table saw top. It just needs to be a flat surface. Use sand paper to surface the matting surface of the head and remove any high or low areas whichever way you want to look at it. I usually...

    2005 175HP VINDICATOR

    Personally I would stay far away from a ficht. Some people have had good luck with them but most have not. Parts are hard to find and you will likely need parts on a regular basis. It was just a crappy technology.

    1986 Johnson 30 water pump

    Can it be used for awhile. Thats a million question. You could try to re torque the bolts but in my experience even if stop the leak it will likely start again after a few heat cycles. Your best bet would be to replace the head gasket sooner than later. Don’t forget to lap the head.
