    Help!! Want to go crappie fishing......60 hp evinrude

    Re: Help!! Want to go crappie fishing......60 hp evinrude When I changed the key switch with a Sierra part on my 1989 60hp I found that the letters weren't properly assigned to the terminals. The terminal arrangement had changed as well. So take a photo or make a drawing and disconnect all...

    tach signal characteristics

    Re: tach signal characteristics In the rectifier-only engines one of the four diodes does work as an half wave rectifier for the tach signal. You can consider the waveform as a half wave rectified sine of a much higher voltage, but clipped at battery voltage. In fact the peaks voltages are one...

    Diagnosis Confirmation Needed - 1993 Evinrude 60 Not Charging

    Re: Diagnosis Confirmation Needed - 1993 Evinrude 60 Not Charging I am a little confused about your wire colors. No yellow/black wires there. The engine wiring should look similar to this: Did you really measure the stator side of the yellow and yellow/gray wires and not the regulator...

    15 hp Johnson Ignition

    Re: 15 hp Johnson Ignition There are many overpriced parts in outboards but the power pack is not too bad. Note the temperature range & water resistance, the special pulse-current-proof capacitor etc. I managed to free up a VRO alarm circuit but I failed completely scratching off the potting...

    1990 60 hp vro carb

    Re: 1990 60 hp vro carb Do you mean #3? It's a screw to drain the bowl and to access the main jet. #15 is for adjusting idle mixture.

    Testing VRO Alarm Without Pulling Oil Hose

    Re: Testing VRO Alarm Without Pulling Oil Hose Yes. But if the oil pump or the oil flow sensor is the only fault in the VRO system, you don't have to test it, because you would get an alarm in any case. The problem is that meanwhile your VRO might have developed a second fault (e.g. a broken...

    Testing VRO Alarm Without Pulling Oil Hose

    Maybe there a few left who still use the VRO for oil mixing. If you do so, it's crucial that the VRO alarm is functional. So the alarm should be checked on a regular basis. This is normally done by running the engine from premix fuel, pulling the oil hose, and waiting for the alarm tone to...

    Regulator testing req.

    Re: Regulator testing req. 16V is not enough to blow "all my gauges". The voltage must have been considerably higher. You might have lost the battery connection during running. What regulator do you use? OEM, CDI, Sierra, Mallory? What have you done with the regulator's purple wire? As far...

    Overheat alarm on 1995 evinrude 60hp

    Re: Overheat alarm on 1995 evinrude 60hp I found a wiring diagram that should be very similar to your engine (SLOW, quick start, 4-lead VRO, regulator, pre system check). The diode is in the top/left part of the drawing. Yes, if you never want to return to VRO oil mixing you can take the...

    Tilt/Trim connections for 1989 johnson 60hp

    Re: Tilt/Trim connections for 1989 johnson 60hp Yes, the 1989 model has the relays next to the terminal bar. Note that your engine probably has the original round rectifier.

    Lower unit reseal, where to mount the shaft seals?

    Hi everyone, I'm preparing for a lower unit reseal of my 1989 60hp J60TLCEA. Should I place the new prop/drive shaft seals exactly where the old seals were or should there be a small offset so that a sealing lip will run on a new (unworn) portion of the shaft? What's your experience? The manual...

    Top Cylinder Carb Fuel Spitback

    Hi everyone, 1989 60hp J60TLCEA. The #1 cylinder spits small drops of fuel out of the carb. After 2min idle there is a puddle in the carb throat. The other two carbs stay almost dry. Here's what I tried to fix it, but it didn't help. 1. Replaced float and seat valve. Adjusted float. 2. Applied a...

    VRO2, question about "no oil flow" alarm

    Re: VRO2, question about "no oil flow" alarm New insights about the VRO alarm circuit: I did not make it to give up. So I carefully scratched off the potting compound and depicted the circuit's schematic diagram. Indeed, essentially the circuit is a counter, counting the tach pulses and...

    VRO2, question about "no oil flow" alarm

    Hi engine gurus, 1989 60hp J60TLCEA. I wanted to start the boating season and checked my engine on muffs. When I turn the key to ignition position, sometimes the normal short tone sounds, but sometimes a continuous quick pulse tone comes from the VRO. I disconnected the VRO plug to verify the...

    VRO2, clear oil feeding hose?

    1989 J60TLCEA. I probably have a little air leak in the VRO's oil feeding hose. I was a little late with winterizing and the oil got already cold and viscous (42?F). So I warmed up the engine on muffs to prepare for fogging. Then I shut off the engine and removed the air silencer cover. When I...

    1989 60hp, adjusting shift rod hight

    3-cylinder J60TLCEA. Last year I might have turned the shift rod during water pump replacement. Shifting still works, but the forward/reverse gear engagement is not symmetrical and is probably out of the cable's adjusting range. Now I want to readjust the shift rod hight. Is it possible to turn...
