    E2RCOC That Likes to Bite!

    Hi, guys, Last year I opined on an Evinrude 2 hp that was shocking! Whenever you touched the ignition plate, i.e., the throttle, AND another part of the engine, ZAP! OUCH! And more I shall not mention. I'm back at it and I wonder if: a slight contact between the magneto and the flywheel...

    Correct Craft Barefoot Nautique

    Hi. Hope this is the right place. I am working on a Barefoot Nautique, PCM V-8 / Holley. One of the issues is the hydraulic piston that lifts the engine cover operates only one way. It is a two-wire pump motor that will raise or lower depending on the wiring. Since the motor is only two...

    Hi, guys, Long time...always good to be here. I was called by a friend to help reassemble the gear shift control lever at the helm. Engine serial number 0G160953. Whoever took it apart lost their way. I reassembled the unit. Gear shifting and throttle control are functional; verified. Now...

    Steam from Tell Tale

    Was just out trying to help a Mariner that won;t stay running. Probably bad fuel and something 's stuck in the jets, now. Anyway, while I'm watching this thing, I see steam coming out along with a good steady stream of water. I put my hand in the stream and, ZOWIE, that water is HOT. Is there...

    Merc 18 5995557 Main Jet Size or Carburetor Float: You Be the Judge

    My Merc 18 is running rich at high speed, too much fuel. Clears itself at WOT and then repeats; gets to choking up a little, then clears out and screams, repeat. Main jet measures 0.002 above stock @ 0.054. Is main jet worn out from use, and letting too much fuel in? So, try to find a main jet...

    Muncie Gear Neptune 10A2

    I'm trying to save a Neptune 10A2, c. 1940. The piston is frozen in the cylinder. I believe from neglect and rust and not from scoring. The connecting rod and crank are in good shape. I have the cylinder flooded with PB Blaster, soaking. Is there anything else I can try to loosen the piston...

    Hi, I have a 1976 Evinrude 55, 55673E, that needs a new upper rubber mount. I'm trying to pull the power head, but, it won't split at the exhaust housing. Carburetors and starter are off. The electronics are still attached. I have removed (8) bolts around the exhaust housing, two adapter to...

    Evinrude 55673E Power Head Shake

    Hi. I have a 1976 55 hp, 55673E. The power head shakes and can be pushed back and forth just as it sits. It should definitely not be used like this. I'm looking for ideas before I tear into it. The drive shaft, exhaust housing, shift linkage all seem in place and tight, but there's a lot of...

    What Year is JW-16?

    Hi, team. I am bringing back a cute little Johnson 3. It's a JW-16. Now, I believe a JW-16 is a 1960, but, the parts lists I am looking at show a 1960 as a JW-13 and a 1961 as a JW-17. So, what year is the JW-16? Thanks, J p.s., and in the absence of a JW-16 parts list, are the JW-17 parts the...

    JW-16 Exhaust Route

    I have a JW-16 that is just plain sweet. It's tight and runs well, but needs a good carb cleaning. I do not see water coming out anywhere so I am wondering if I should see water spray from the down tube. Thanks, J

    I have an 18 Merc, 5995557, that I just put new bearings (crank and drive shaft) and seals. Started it up in a barrel. Much quieter, lot less rattling and no more squeaking. Shut it down and wouldn't restart. Found the drive key sheared right in half. Installed another one and same thing...

    Merc 18 5995557 Lower Unit Rebuild

    I am bringing back an 18 hp Merc, 5995557. It's had a hard life but still runs like a beast. I've been through the power head and am now doing the lower unit. The unit needs new seals, (2) upper and (1) lower. The old upper seals gave me a much harder time than expected. I got them out by...
