    25 HP evinrude Etech issue

    Oh I forgot to mention, I drained the gas tank and gas line to the motor and replaced with new gas. I also unhooked the fuel line before it goes into the VSP and pumped the bulb to make sure any old gas was drained from the lines.

I soaked it overnight in gas and 2 stroke oil at abouyt 100 to 1 mix as I had read that it might help. Put it back on...

    1998 Johnson 25 hp not pumping water

    Yes I think it is all lined up correctly Copper water tube in the proper place.. It looks like to me you have to take off about 10 or 12 bolts the get the thermo out. I was using muffs to run the motor. Is there an easier way to remove the thermo? Looks like a PITA to get it out and have to...

    Gear oil leak 1985 9.9 Evinrude

    I have gear oil coming from a hole that is on the left side , near front of the motor, above the gearing . This would be as the motor is mounted on the boat and you are looking at the back of the motor. It does not seem to be leaking from the rear of the motor around the prop, so I am guessing...

    1984 Johnson 15 hp issues

    I have an 1984 Johnson 15 hp -model #J15RCRM-. When I bought it a few months ago, it was hard to start the first time, but then was fairly easy to start- 5 or 6 pulls- after that over the course of several weeks. I ran it in a barrel with a heavy dose of Seafoam. It would idle as long as I...
