    1997 Johnson 40 oil injected isn't getting fuel

    Yes I've used it very sparingly myself so understood. Let's see compression numbers and then report. There is good people on here so expect good advice. Funny, I've seen people rebuild vro's on YouTube but I haven't seen a parts kit....only complete pumps.

    1985 evinrude 30 hp prop power issue

    Ok, just reviewed everything again. ..you've had many things go wrong. (Prop, shift linkage, low rpm's) did you ever do a compression test? Didn't see one and I'm pretty sure you have over rev'd it many times. Also, I read you cleaned the carb....but no rebuild? Looks like the gas is not...

    1997 Johnson 40 oil injected isn't getting fuel

    Most on this forum are going to want to see compression numbers....they also will say no starting fluid, just 50 to 1 oil gas in a spray bottle. The normal way to check fuel pump failure is to pump the fuel ball while trying to start. Not sure the vro works that way. Usually dirty carbs is the...

    Suzuki DT85 8501 9219(8)0 or 8501 9219(6)0 looking for year please

    I think it's a 6....not sure it matters though. It looks like an 1989 to me but I wouldn't swear to it. What did you come up with?

    Outboard will only start when given 10%-30% throttle. Will not start when given full throttle or half throttle.

    Also, did you buy Crosbyman a beer? At least give him an "atta-boy"!

    How did you diagnose?? Or did you just change your crank seals and test.

    They appear to be...or are close. Picture it hard to know for sure. I'm sure you've seen this but just in case

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    A little more info, you say 1984 30hp Evinrude (25 cap) is there a model number on the clamp? You say choke plate has been removed. That should have a manual primer system....is it there? Your problem could be there. Here is a description of the alignment ring and the most common things that go...

    Yamaha 90TRL propeller issue

    I think you can save the nut by using a drill bit to cut the old rusty pin.

    Yamaha 90TRL propeller issue

    Tough one. The only thing I can think of, is to cut or shear off each end so you can get the nut off, remove the prop and then have the clearance to drill it out.

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Just re-read all of your posts. You've done everything really...only thing I can think of is you haven't looked at the reed valves, or maybe you have. Frustrating I'm sure.

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    Ask your repair guys if the pulled the powerhead from the mid-section...nobody would if they thought the draw tube was okay. It really can't be anything else other than a crack somewhere and it would be burning water or leaking it. That's my 2 cents

    84 Evinrude bogging full throttle surge

    Rmillis, Just a shot in the dark here. When you worked under the flywheel installing coil and such, did you use the omc alignment tool? Those have to be set just right for flywheel clearance.

    2000 Johnson 15hp wont pump water

    The only other thing it could be is the draw tube has a hole in it or the grommet at the top has failed. Powerhead would have to come off to verify unless someone else has a trick that I don't know of.

    1995 Johnson 70hp starts then dies

    Just throwing this out there. VRO, most people back when I had one anyway would just plug off the oil line and then run 50 to 1 in the tank. In fact omc included the plug. People are now installing regular pumps because they are much cheaper and because they don't trust the vro's. What I don't...

    No helm power - 2018 Yamaha 704 w/ 2021 F150LB 4 stroke

    Yes, I have the auto circuit breaker going to the dash or main positive bus bar. Every three years or so I have to cut them out because they get all corroded up. My harness failed twice. Right where it goes into the motor because of the steering action going back and forth. 1st time while...
