    What am I looking at?

    Working on an 89 Dominator CS and need an experienced eye to help me understand what I have. I was taking on more water than I liked last fall so I put some water in the boat to locate leaks. Found a few hull cracks and also had a dribble coming out of drain hole at the back of the keel guard...

    1979 Evinrude 140HP tilt/trim application

    I just bought a 1983 70HP Johnson with manual tilt. I have a 1979 140 Evinrude parts motor that has a power tilt/trim unit and was wondering if this power tilt/trim will fit my 70 HP. According to the BRP parts website, the 70 HP - 140 HP motors for both years take the same tilt/trim unit but...

    I've got a 1976 Starcraft with a 1984 Evinrude 90HP VRO. It has a Moeller FT1895 permentant mount fuel tank. I bought the boat last year and have trouble with air in the fuel line after the motor is off for a while. I replaced the fuel bulb and can keep fuel from the bulb to the motor just...

    1970 60 HP not starting

    I recently obtained a 1970 60 HP looper Mod# 60ESL70B. Went out out yesterday and started it on the muffs. Started right up and although it didn't run real smooth, it ran consistently and didn't want to die. Shut it off after about 15 minutes, tried to start it back up about 5 minutes later...

    Wiseco wrist pin question

    Last spring I tore down and rebuilt a 1984 90 Hp crossflow. I saved 3 pistons and connecting rods from that motor with the hopes of using them at a later date. The pistons are Wiseco 3173P3 's, .030 over, and mic out well for round. I now have another V4 I'm working on and am thinking about...

    I have a 1970 40HP evinrude model 40073A. A few weeks ago I took it out and it ran fine for the first 15 - 20 minutes, then it stalled out at WOT and I had to limp it back to the dock. I replaced the coils, cleaned the carb, replaced and adjusted the carb float yesterday. I took it out this...

    Evinrude Head Damage

    I have a 1975 75HP Evinrude I'm rebuilding, model# 75543B. I'm in pretty good shape, reboreable cylinders, I found some good used rods & a crank, but the head has some speckling on it from the #2 big end rod bearing that went bad. I can't find a good used head for this motor to save my life! I...

    fuel system swap

    A few weeks ago I posted a question about swapping out a blown 1985 Evinrude #E90TLCOS powerhead with a 1979 Johnson #J85TL79R. Responses to my question seemed to think the swap would work. I've since learned thatthe blown powerhead is a J90TLCUS (1987) that was apparently put on my 1985...

    powerhead swap

    I have a 1985 90HP Evinrude with a blown powerhead. The model# is E90TLCOS. I've located a used 1979 85HP Johnson powerhead model# 85TL79R and would like to put it on my Evinrude. I plan on using the electrical off the blown 90HP and putting it on the 85HP. They both use the same powerhead to...
