    Need help

    I don't work on those really but I had one. Same thing. It ended up being a rotten pickup tube from the pump. Had to take the power head off just to get to it. PITA.....

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    Okay, post number 72 and rising!!! Interesting. So the little hole on the right gets smaller on the larger number size, is that correct. To bad they don't list them that way. Finicky little sob. I don't think that's going to correct the mid range stuff but we shall see. Still a dime a...

    1976 Evinrude Motor part?

    Yes, saw your picture of you holding up a fish....looks like a good fisherwoman!!? Okay motor wise. Just aquired right? You've got moxie but the older outboards need a little more know how. Do you know the history of this outboard? Does it have new fresh parts? Most likely not. So your...

    When you pulled that thing from mothballs I hope you put some oil in the spark plug holes and hand spun it for awhile. You still can by the way. As you continue to demoth it most likely the compression will come up.

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Funny how many compression testers test incorrectly. Interesting that your 9.5 runs that low.... When working on outboards or chainsaws what have you, after 80 to 90 lbs I haven't had much luck. Maybe I'm to picky or have YOU checked your tester!! ; ) PS I don't think he should give up just...

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Whoa!!! Crosbyman on the war path! I know compression doesn't affect the pump but tells a story of how worn the motor is. (Rings, bearing, seals) All of those things could affect how the pump gets it power from. If you read the OP is not getting fuel out of his fuel pump and I just wanted to...

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Grease the splines but not the top, it won't go in all the way if you do. If the gearcase won't drop down (lack of greasing)then post again....some tricks but it's bad news. Your probably fine. Three bolts on the bottom, take your time and don't force them and then the gearcase will pull...

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Yes, the switch completes the grounding. (Normally open) so when you pulled the wire apart you stopped the grounding. Your switch is not releasing. You could try wd40 and pushing it a bunch of times but switch is a common failure. Water is coming out the exhaust relief holes so that's good but...

    Your new battery went dead on two cylinder compression tests? That's odd.

    1993 4HP Johnson

    You will need a new kill switch part number 75 on this part list. Not always fun to replace by the way. Can't believe they didn't put a tell tail on a 93 but maybe. I'm working on an older 4 hp and really there is now way to tell. Check head temp or pull and make a visual on the impeller.

    1993 4HP Johnson

    There is an adjustment at the screw labeled #2 on the carb breakdown. Roller adjustment. Probably leave it alone until you see if it's running correctly.

    Low only.

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    I mean the motor might be done. Fuel pump works off of the crankcase, with your low compression it may no longer work. Spit balling really.

    Armature plate too tight when screws are tightened

    Funny, when I pulled the parts breakdown for that motor it didn't look like that. Where did you get that breakdown?

    1970 4hp Johnson low compression

    Most people say junk. Better to rebuild....easy. 50 psi is not good. Check with another tester or test your tester on something else. It might be done.

    Evinrude 15 1992 carburetor cover change

    Doesn't explain why someone put pins in them.
