    Eaton Viking Model 463 spark plug

    Also need some guidance on re-installing the armature base/ignition plate. Do I simply align the lever with the TDC notch on the shaft?

    Eaton Viking Model 463 spark plug

    I am trying to get mine going again. I would like to replace the spark plug, but am having trouble determining the correct plug I though this was the same as an Elto Ace which calls for a C7 or equivalent plug but when I tried an NGK AB-6 which is supposed to be the equivalent, the diameter of...

    1984 Evinrude Mate 2HP recoil starter adjustment

    I've just rebuilt one of these that had been sitting for 20 years and it is running well, but I have a problem with the recoil starter. Only about 1/3 of the height of the starter pawl engages with the flywheel, so it has worn away that area. I've fixed it temporarily by shaving the top of the...

    Old outboard compression

    Anybody have any idea what the compression should be on an old 1.8 hp Eaton Viking/Elto Ace outboard. Can't be too high with the poppet style carb, but it seems really weak.

    Johnson 6 questions

Bottom plug was a nice tan color and top plug was wet, so figured it was probably electrical. One of the main coils has a burn mark...

    1980 70HP loses power

    I may have his resolved, but I am still curious. Put my boat in checked everything over and went out for a run. Boat started beautifully, but after about 10 minutes started to bog down under power. Thought at first it was fuel so cleaned my large canister filter - there was gunk and water in...

    Shifter problems 1980 70HP Evinrude

    I've been having a problem with the motor not shifting properly and it so far has always turned out to be the cable coming loose at one end or the other (Morse system). This morning it happened again and this time it is not the cable. I disconnected and tried shifting manually and no success...

    1980 70HP low charging voltage

    I have a 1980 70 HP Evinrude that is probably the best running 3 cylinder OMC I have ever had, however my battery keeps getting run down. I've checked the stator and the rectifier, and they seem fine although there is a bit of resistance (200 ohms) one way on the rectifier (infinite the other...
