    1983 Evinrude 15 how to remove drive shaft

    Stuck driveshaft is very common and tricky to save. Often times when you pull them out the crank splines come with it. Older ones hold up better. I use a flare tool and a c-clamp to grip the shaft and then rig up a expander to that. Penetrant and slight tapping helps. I usually do it over a...

    Ruh-Roh… a new gear case may be in order

    Yes, more than enough.

    What is this nipple inside the carb area

    It shows it as a drain....also shows a rubber cap on it. Right now it could be a vacuum leak I guess.

    What is this nipple inside the carb area

    I'm thinking that goes to the plastic air box for pollution control...not sure where the primer goes into that motor. Not 100 percent positive.

    Is my motor sitting to low?

    Maybe...is that a false hollow bottom? Anti cavitation plate should be even with the bottom of your motor is clamped to the transom, higher if it's on an offshore bracket.

    1987 50hp Evinrude E50TLCUD Thermostat Replacement

    Why would you not run some kind of corrosion blaster through your motor when you haven't even diagnosed your motor. Nasty looking t-stats tested fine, right? The water orifices in that motor are not very big...plugging is easy. That motor is not ready for fishing.

    1996 evinrude 40 tiller carb roller

    I couldn't find that part for your motor but maybe I missed it. Is that your cam roller for the throttle? If so, it should go on or not. Sounds like you have the wrong one.

    OK a question. I have a little 1984 Evinrude 7.5 HP.. Beautiful motor.

    Lower Unit (LW) will need to stay in the water at all times. (For over revving and coolant water/lubrication) If your using the existing transom and not on a plane the water should be quite high so I wouldn't think it would be a problem. And like Racer say's, aftermarket adjustable brackets are...

    Old 4hp Evinrude takes a nap

    Do another compression check, if still good, buy an inexpensive IR gun and see how hot it's running.

    1978 35 hp Johnson, electric start.

    Brandons garage shows you how to install one and lists the part number (YouTube)... Any parts motor will have one... Cdi electronics probably makes and sells one. I have many...dime a dozen really. Pretty sure the only thing you don't have is an overheat sensor so you won't be using that wire.

    1978 35 hp Johnson, electric start.

    That's the older one. Either buy a vintage harness or they sell a replacement harness that converts it to the red plug. More wires, more options and not hard. Or I make my own with aftermarket connectors. Crosbys example doesn't work for your motor but it's what it could be. You can look up...

    1978 35 hp Johnson, electric start.

    No key is needed. Unplug the motor and jump the starter solenoid. Spark gap test of 3/8 or better while checking compression numbers. Easy to do and gives you a wealth of info. Post the results.

    Does it have the big black plug on the motor or red?

    Shifting into reverse is really hard

    Racer is correct, it's hard on the lower end if you don't rotate the prop while shifting it not running. Other things can happen too though.

    Shifting into reverse is really hard

    Do it with it running in a BIG barrel.

    Evinrude 7.5hp kill switch issue

    Cut it and use a good marine but splice or pull the pin. Rubbing alcohol and a MacGyver tool works great. You need to know. I've seen and experienced what Nordin is talking about. Tested fine but wasn't. Micro voltage doesn't count sometimes.

    78 Johnson 115 starboard cylinder head getting hot

    Excellent and thanks for posting what you did for the other folk who run into this issue. Might save someone lots of time.

    1974-75 Evinrude 70hp Hustler from the Triumph series Cranks, but doesn't catch fully to spark or start.

    Probably not the fuel filter, it's the overflow from a flooding situation but pictures will prove. Get an OEM service manual.... Intake was full of dirt? Explain more please.

    So far so good

    You should adjust the idle at the timer screw located outside ....wait, is this a tiller?
