    50HP evintude tiller fuel connector question

    Omc never went back to the 50 to 1 mix. They used the vro until they went to fuel injection. VRO was a good system.

    1970 4HP Johnson

    Owned the Evinrude version....the only problem with that motor is forward gear only. You start it in gear and be prepared to go somewhere. Better as a trolling motor on say a 14 alum boat with a bigger older main motor that doesn't like to troll. Oil mix is richer on that motor too depending...

    50HP evintude tiller fuel connector question

    I've had 3 vro outboards from omc. Never a problem. One needed rebuilding once but the alarm went off and no engine damage. Big technological advancement when it was made and I think omc followed Yamaha on that.

    Boat and motor given to me

    It varys the oil ratio from 100 to 1 at idle to 50 to 1 at WOT. Really helped 2 strokes run better and cleaner on the lower rpm's. Some people removed them and mixed 50 to 1 in their tanks. Do you still have a bottle in the engine or mounted in the boat?

    OMC Serial Number

    Serial number won't help. Post pictures and someone most likely can tell about what year it is by looking at it.

    1977 evinrude 15hp water flow

    Sounds normal....remember those are just exhaust relief holes, most of your exhaust is going through the prop.

    Boat and motor given to me

    Maybe start with pulling the spark plugs, inserting some 2 stroke oil and hand cranking it 10 to 20 times. Could be locked up.

    1966 Jonhson 9.5 rust around exhaust cover

    Agree with above....I think it was overheated once. You might have issues so pulling the head, inspecting, resurfacing and installing a new gasket might be in order.

    1982 Johnson 7.5hp Backfires but No Start (Wrong Carb?)

    Yes I agree, wires from mag need to be switched going to your coils. Should be orange blue to top perhaps. Does your motor have the airbox? And where is the choke knob? Motor still isn't running?

    1988 48 special carbs

    His motor came with the 89 carbs on it and it didn't run right, it also came with parts including the 88 carbs. He rebuilt those so he now has the conclusions above.
