    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    So I attempted to take it out on the water again today, and it was a colossal failure. Put it in and it was running at first. Still has rough idle but I was able to get it in gear and move at low rpm, went to open up throttle and it bogged down and died on me. after cutting out it would not...

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    Alright time for an update, I haven't given up on the motor guys don't worry. I was just venting out of frustration before. I went ahead and did a full rebuild on the Carbs. I am now leaps and bounds closer than before. It is idling again now, the Idle is a little rough it doesn't seem too...

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    Message received, I have seen you say this before in multiple posts. I will probably go that route next given I am out of options at this point (what is there to lose). If I do so I will be sure to take some pictures and video and post them up here. Thank you so much for your time, your a huge...

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    So I just got off the phone with the mechanic. He is telling me to not even bother putting any more money into this motor. He started to explain that the motor is probably shot, saying that the bottom skirts of the pistons are probably worn to where the block is getting no vacuum, he also...

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    Cleaned carbs again, new fuel pump, pulled and cleaned the manifold (something black shot out of it when cleaned) and I'm back to square one again, rough idle doesn't want to stay running, and won't throttle up. When I hold the key in for choke she will open up just fine. I guess it's a rebuild...

    When I made the adjustment it wasn't on carbs, it was on the primer solenoid.

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    Just took a test on the water, idle works great now. Works in gear at slow speed, as soon as go to throttle up she bogs down and starts to stall out. I'm starting to think maybe I need a new fuel pump?

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    Ok so after doing some of the above mentioned stuff this is where I ended up. She is idling again but she does have a little lean sneeze. I'm thinking of dropping her in the water again to see if I can get her wide open now and see how it reacts. Just cleaned her up again, and did a small...

    So just for starters this is the chip in the housing my mechanic buddy is worried about, right next to where the spring is.

    Well that is music to my ears. Maybe we did not do a good enough job with cleaning? What steps should we try to take next?

    1987 40hp evinrude vro (oil deleted) carb issue?

    Just bought this vessel a couple days ago. Just put it in the water to run a test, in the beginning it started fine but couldn't get any pickup like it was starving for fuel. Come back to dock, pulled and cleaned carbs out, then reinstalled. Now motor doesn't want to idle, had to many issues at...

    New boat, and new headache (paperwork)

    1987 16' Duranautic Aluminum I'm sure the sticky post gods will get me for this one. So I just bought this boat about 2 days ago. Seller claimed they had ALL original paperwork. I ran through the folder and I have everything imaginable except... titles. Which brings me to my question, I reside...

    1994 112 johnson special, blown cylinder? What now?

    Apologies for the pixelation it's not too easy to get a nice clear shot, but I think I found my culprit. Looks like a nice score on the side of cylinder wall.

    1994 112 johnson special, blown cylinder? What now?

    So my co worker is letting me borrow his endoscope. I'm going to go in there and take a look today and post up what I see in here, other than obvious scoring on the cylinder, anything else I should be looking for?

    Hello everyone, I have this outboard as mentioned in title. Has an idle issue, runs great when your giving it gas, but as soon as I bring it to idle she cuts out dead.
