    Eco carb cleaners?

    I have never had a problem with simple green but I don’t use it straight either. I mix it wil Dawn dish soap. But by all means if others have had problems don’t use my method. 😂

    Eco carb cleaners?

    Not personally but I have heard of it. Give a try. Worst case scenario you will have something to clean the shop floor with handy.

    Eco carb cleaners?

    I used Simplegreen in the ultrasonic with good results but not on its own. Give a try and see how it works for you. All the best on the rest of your journey.

    Hydrofoil/Dolfin Recommendations for a Neighbors Mercury Outboard 115 Pro XS

    I would have to agree. They work for smaller boats and HP but a motor of that size shouldn’t have to struggle. There is likely a better solution to be found. If trimming doesn’t help there is more than likely an underlying issue somewhere. What kind of boat is it on?

    Carburetor clean versus carburetor rebuild

    The solvents of your choice and heat from water will break down crud into fine pieces and ultra sonic vibrations break things from their grasp. I have never tried to clean a carb without removing the plug and if I had to guess I would think the machine alone wouldn’t clean these fine passages...

    1986 Johnson 60 sounds odd

    A Great running motor can have almost a harmonic hum to it. Maybe it’s just me but I can hear it best at wot and enjoy listing to it. Don’t over think it and just enjoy it until you can’t. I was once peacefully listing to this sound of a Detroit 671 with my eyes closed when the turbo blew...

    Carburetor clean versus carburetor rebuild

    For me the fine passages are usually what I’m after. I invested in ultrasonic cleaner a few years ago and they work really well with just dish soap and water. If I come across a varnished carb I’ll go with a chem dip first. I’m guilty of reusing gaskets from time to time but usually only if they...

    Water Pump Won't Prime 1991 90 HP Evinrude

    As you say it’s not your first rodeo so sorry for the questions but. As you say cracked or rotten water tube, worn out cup, bad grommet, missing key, wrong impeller? Just some thoughts. Best

    Will it stay running if you squeeze the ball? If so verify the fuel pump is working.

    1993 Evinrude 30 HP tiller pull start

    Agreed. If your cross reference the part number you will likely find that recoil was used on many different models and years and even horsepowers. There’s bound to be one close by. Don’t give up yet.

    Is there a guide to removing the powerhead on a 93 to 07 9.9

    My take on the original question was does anyone know of any shorts cut to the task at hand. Even those of us that know a thing or two can still learn quick tips from others if the question is asked.

    68' Johnson 20hp (FD 22M)..Want to add starter..

    Shouldn’t be to hard to locate a parts motor in your area. When you do make your part mold and get busy. I’m sure one could do well reproducing these parts as an extra income hobby.

    Points/condenser conversion kit

    I have to agree. And if a problem does come up you still have a good chance of getting home with a minor adjustment. When electronics gadgets go there gone.
