    Viking 6 hp vs 9.2 hp 60's model

    Hey I have a Viking 6 hp from the late 60's and the other day I saw a 9.2 hp that looked exactly the same as mine. I was wondering if it is the same motor with a different carb on it like some of the OMC 9.9 to 15 hp engines or a completely different motor. Anyone know? Thanks

    Onboard DC Alternator Charger help

    I am running a 1975 Evinrude 75 hp Hustler on my 16' boat. I have a perko with 2 batteries, one for starting and one for trolling.

Also I think I may need some other parts for some of these gauges. What other parts go with the speedometer for example? I...

    1985 Evinrude 8 hp

    The motor runs very well and then when I leave it for a week or so, it won't start. It makes a squeeling sound when I try to start it. I pulled a plug and sprayed some quick start in one cyl and it started and ran fine all weekend again. Leave for the week and the same thing happened again. What...

    1985 Evinrude 8 hp

    I am working on an evinrude 8 hp. It has spark on both cyls, but does not start. It seems to backfire hard every 10 or so pulls. Is this most likely carb or could I have hooked the electrical up wrong? I am getting solid spark on both cyls. Thanks

    Mercury vs Evinrude

    Hey I was wondering what would be a faster/more powerful motor. A 1975 75 hp Evinrude Hustler or a 1985 Mercury 75 hp. I have a 16 foot runabout. I know the Evinrude is a 3 cyl and the Mercury is a 4 cyl. Advice is appreciated. Thanks
