    Source for power trim switch on older Evinrudes?

    Another option is to buy an older red plug control box used and swipe the switch off it. I sold a pretty good one for $75.00 last spring but I see on eBay they are trending for much more. I think the availability on these has gone down. Craigslist should be a cheaper option. Have a spare for...

    Engine rpms running up super high on its own might not be to good. Have you done a compression test?

    Agreed, to hard to tell but they have different orifice sizes so there not the same. On the low idle needle valve how many turns out did you start at? Post pictures of your 88 carbs.

    2006 Mercury 9.9hp 4-stroke won't start.

    Maybe. Fuel pump should not leak, did you try to tighten it? Are you choking the motor when you try to start it? Have you tried a short blast of starting fluid? When was this motor last run?

    15HP 93 2 Stroke Evinrude Won’t Start Warm

    You say your Amazon impeller gave out.....did it come apart? If so, it may have gone up inside and plugged up stuff. Just because the tell tale is pumping doesn't mean the engine is getting cooling water.

    1988 48 special carbs

    I think your showing the wrong carb unless I'm going crazy. 🤨 The top carb I posted is his 89 and it has the side mount idle screw.

    The 88 does not have a idle needle and the 89 does according to the parts breakdown. Also, the 88 has a 49d main jet and the 89 has a 50.

    1987 Johnson 15 no spark

    Also, disconnect the kill wire. Switch can test fine with tester but still malfunction because of the amps going through it.

    Source for power trim switch on older Evinrudes?

    The older omc control box doesn't have replacement trim switches? That's troubling. I was told BRP was going to maintain parts.

    1994 Johnson 115hp, V-4 engine questions

    Well I'm assuming this is your motor now. So, being a 30 year old motor and not knowing the hours on it, here is what I recommend. Clean up all the wiring on the motor. Do a complete compression check before going any further. If that's checks out, do a complete fuel system cleanout and replace...

    '97 Johnson 130 HP - Stalls when under load (only after running OK under load 1st)

    My neighbor has the 140 4 cylinder vro with similar symptoms. Traced it to a failed check valve off the vro. Oil would pour into the carbs when you shut it down. Does it smoke a lot once you get it going?
