    Poor Idle Evinrude E50TSLECC

    Ultrasonic followed by compressed air is the best method imo.

    1967 Johnson 6hp won’t idle or stay running

    Do what you want, just saying it's about 10x easier to adjust idle screw then start messing with the pump. And in my experience 90% of the time its the carbs. especially if its been sitting for 20 years, regardless of winterziation.

    1967 Johnson 6hp won’t idle or stay running

    Have you done spark/ compression test? Sounds like carbuertor to me.. Have you adjusted idle screw / cleaned carbs?

    Evinrude Issue

    So the engine was idling fine before you sprayed that into the carbs and then bogged down after you sprayed it in carb? or boggs down regardless of that? If you pulled plug wire on any cylinder and it didnt change the power, the motor isn't firing on the cylinder you pulled plug wire.. make...

    98 johnson 50hp wont idle

    Have you adjusted idle speed valve on carb? Did you do that while it was running or engine off? If there is a high speed jet on this model I would adjust that as well, it can effect idle speed too. How did you clean the carbs? Carbuerator's can be tricky and need to be thoroughly gone over...

    Service Manual

    I bought a service manual for my 60 hp e60tledr, 2 stroke evinrude on marineengine.com but I lost it unfortunately in a recent move. The site doesn't sell it anymore and i'm having trouble finding it anywhere online... Any suggestions/ideas on how to attain one? it's 1996.

    1958 Fastwin Not Getting Fuel

    Yeah what is previously mentioned about checking the pumps would be the first step after making sure no air/fuel leaks from everything from tank to carbs. Check the vent to see if it's open if it's not a pressure tank, as well as pumping the primer bulb when it start's to bog down or however...

    1958 Johnson 5.5hp Not Having Power

    You've made sure the spark is jumping specified gap for this model engine? Sounds like it could be a carbuerator defect.. Even if idle/high speed settings are proper there can be leaks in the needle/seat, and float improperly set.. I would pressure check the carbs and make sure float setting is...

    3 hp Evinrude Won’t Idle

    Try priming the primer bulb while it's idling. If it keeps running, it's most likely the pump. If not, and you said it runs well at almost closed slow speed needle it's likely flooding. I would go over Carbuerators again via a pressure test. and spray the needle/seat area with water/soap to see...

    1996 3 cylinder Cutting off at idle and not running well

    So i'm pretty stumped with a project motor I picked up. Went from no spark and major fuel issues (wrong pump was installed) air leaks in fuel lines, carbueretor's gummed bad and mis adjusted. To able to run on the water but not at full power. If I bring it to idle it cuts out after about 30...

    1994 Johnson 175 turns over with key switch off?

    If you take battery cables off positive/negative terminals it resets the ECM. I would try that as well.

    1972 evinrude Johnson 50 hp

    If the evinrude is idling fine but bogging down in gear id check if this model carb has a high speed fuel jet, then adjust that accordingly.

    Possible Business

    I'm not sure what you think i'm proposing, or maybe I didn't word well enough what I said to make you think i'm not fixing everything? I'm well aware of whats required in repair, as well as unforseen fixes the customer wasn't prepared for. I agree though, people are attracted to the pretty...

    Yea , hopefully thats ok... As I said, I have close to 6 yrs experience with small HP motors, so that would qualify me to work on 30 HP and less motors. No one is "paying me to learn how to fix outboards." I have all required tools, only thing I would need is test tank.

    Possible Business

    Yea as I stated, I worked 3 years in a shop, and I dealt first hand with customers, while there were unhappy customers, they were in the large minority. I disagree with offering your work for free or low wage. People will take advantage of the fact you're offering to work hard to learn, and...
