    1994 150 after few minutes it's like you turn key off let cool for 5 min and will go another few min and repeat

    Oh my! For me it's usually just a washer or two!

    Inboard fuel tank clogged filters and pickup tube

    Not sure I would do this recommendation but years ago when I was young my boat stopped running and I noticed my primer bulb was caved in. My brother and I removed the pickup tube and noticed the screen all plugged up. Since I was running a large size spin on fuel filter we decided to just remove...

    Deformed water pump housing, sign of overheat?

    I agree with the above responses....looks fine or normal wear. Replace and test for temperature.

    I think what your saying is it's turning over now but it won't start....or run. Correct? Next thing to check for is a spark....do you own a spark plug tester? It's possible you haven't fixed all of the wires.

    1959 35HP Frothy Caramel Colored Oil

    You might find something but overall that's normal....sometimes grayish emulsified oil and water and sometimes black slightly burnt unburnt oily looking 2 stroke fuel. People write in all the time saying "Hey, what's this ......" There are as even a recent post from a guy that had it all over...

    1972 Evinrude 25202r compression

    Mid grade is fine. Ethanol is not, especially when storing. Any carburator is picky....most likely you will need to clean the carb. Do the fuel test first and that should tell the story.

    1972 Evinrude 25202r compression

    80's low in my book but might not explain why it's not running. What gas are you buying? And could that vacuum hose be the culprit? See any decaying matter coming off of it? Try a little spray bottle with 50 to 1 fuel in it, spray some in the carb and see if it starts. If it does than you know...

    Choke solenoid or primer solenoid

    You might have to drill and tap a nipple for the primer hose. Look at the other carbs and see if they have a nipple from the primer.

    Smelly 2-Stroke

    Even a 4 stroke with wind at your back has fuel smells so not sure you can get around it. Expect smoke at startup but if your seeing lots of it after it warms up then maybe something is wrong. Tough one because nobody knows how sensitive your nose is.

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Stuck closed.... Okay. Wasn't sure and I wanted to make sure before you went to the trouble of replacing it. You should probably check the wire from where you popped it out of the rubber plug back to the switch for any chaffing and contacting a ground but the switches fail often.

    Adding a water pressure gauge to 1987 70ETLH

    At the end of the day the audible alarm is the best. You can have water pumping fine (good reading at psi gauge) and still get an overheat from something farther up the cooling system. If you want the best of both worlds put in a temp gauge and a pressure gauge if you feel it's necessary to...

    Key word here is "appears" You can't guess. Do you have a meter and know how to use one? Not super difficult. You can try jiggling your shift throttle lever because maybe the neutral switch got messed up when changing out the key switch.

    Smelly 2-Stroke

    Lol, I was going to say something similar or " Yeah, how I love the smell of 2 stroke oil in the morning!! " Very common complaint with women but with men?? Not so much. I guess it's a new world!

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Hey, I might have got ahead of myself here. There is supposed to me a man overboard clip on the kill switch....(part number 78 on the breakdown) if that is not in it will not spark. I guess I just assumed you had one. If you don't have one you can take a piece of fat wire and put it around...

    1976 Evinrude Motor part?

    Racerone is one of our good neighbors to the north as in "another country" but if you bribe him with some good company and excellent fishing he might just do that!

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Well I assume you see it on the tiller, correct? Not sure I've scene it on any videos or manuals. Threading the wires through is somewhat the hard part. Also, removing the pin connection from the rubber plug can be tricky without the omc tool. Some guys just cut the wire and use a butt...

    1976 Evinrude Motor part?

    May want to start with a few simple tools and then move up before moving up to harder stuff.....just saying. Perhaps a spark plug tester. Hopefully you have spark and if you correct the gas shooting all over maybe it will start. Pretty sure that little motor is going to need a few more items...
