    Slow crank on initial start up

    Thanks for the reply. Hard to turn manually so I'm thinking it's not the starter. What needle bearings are you referring to?

    Slow crank on initial start up

    I have a Evinrude 1992 115hp. On the initial start up it labors to turn the motor over but eventually does and I can get the motor started. There's no problem the rest of the day turning the motor over. It's been doing this for some time. Was wondering if anybody else has had this issue.

    98 evinrude 90hp crossflow

    It really sounds like you're trying to bite too much water. Try a prop with less pitch or take as much weight out of the boat and see if that makes a difference. If you can take out 80 - 100 lbs you should see a difference in the RPMs. It's the easiest thing to check. The actual motor could be fine.

    cold start issue

    I agree with raceone. I have a 1992 115 crossflow and the timing doesn't go out on these unless someone physically adjusted it out.

    Overheating alarm

    What motor do you have?? I had a very similar issue with my 1992 115 crossflow. It was the water deflectors that were restricting the water flow around the cylinders. Which caused a lot of gunk to build up in the water jackets. Is the pee stream normal temp when the alarm comes on? Check out my...

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    Yep. Scraped around cylinders and heads and thermostat housing and associated thermostat parts. Just took it out for a hard run and it ran like new. Temp was the same at idle as it was at 5300 rpms. Ran at 5300 rpms for about 5 minutes and and was good. Water pressure was 18 psi before clean out...

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    Thanks for the info on the hoses. That was mu next step. I ended up taking it to the local pond and idled it at the ramp and it ran perfect. It seems that since everything was cleaned out and the deflectors were replaced, I wasn't getting enough water from the hose/muffs to cool the motor. I...

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    Also the springs for the poppets were a half inch shorter than the originals and the air gap hole in the thermostat valve body was enlarged to 1/8". Just wanted to make sure you guys had all the info.

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    Okay so I installed the new water deflectors and sealed everything up. Now it's over heating at idle and the pee stream was steaming before the alarm went off. So I'm still over heating but it's different than the original issue. Also, the RPMs are higher at idle that before. Would run around...

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    This is what I found when I removed the port side head. The middle water deflector created a blockage in water flow. I'll be replacing the deflectors on both sides just to be on the safe side.

    1997 Evinrude 115 overheating the Port Cylinders

    So what was the outcome? I'm having a similar issue and would really appreciate if you posted if you fixed it or not and how. Thanks in advance.

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    yes. differently too hot to keep your finger on and checked it with IR sensor and it was reading 190 when the alarm sounded. Also, the alarm went off fairly quickly and I was able to run back to the ramp at 3500 rpm.

    1992 Evinrude 115 overheating

    I'm having overheat issues with my 1992 Evinrude 115 at high RPMs, 4500 and over. Seems to run fine till it gets to 4500 rpms. Water coming out of the pee hole is cold when alarm comes on. When I disconnect temp sensor on starboard side alarm stays on. Disconnect port side temp sensor and alarm...

    starter issues with 1992 115tlend

    I have a 1992 E115TLEND and it seems the starter is having problems turning the motor over on the initial start. It engages but doesn't seem to have the power to turn it over. After a couple of tries it starts fine. Is the starter getting weak and is that what needs to be replaced? Connections...

    lower unit vent plug leaking

    I have a 1992 E115tlend and recently had a helicoil installed because the upper plug in the lower unit stripped out. Now it's not holding presure (10 psi). Was using a white nylon gasket with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    teleflex rotory steering question

    I'd like to know if it's possible to remove the cable from the jacket on a teleflex rotory steering system on the motor end. There's not enough room to remove the cable/jacket by pulling it out of the motor's tilt tube without removing the motor, Evinrude 115 @ 400 lbs. I don't have the...

    question about reeves method(full spark advance timing)

    I set my full spark advanced timing by the Joe Reeves method and was wondering why the spark tester needed to be set at 7/16". After setting the timing I noticed the tester was at 5/16". Does this make a difference in the results? Any help would be appreciated.
