    Only Running on One Cylinder

    I used RTV on the water jacket cover(over the heads) and on the connection from the impeller output to the main body of the outboard to help hold the coupling grommet in place, all other areas have aftermarket gaskets in place. I was sure to compare OEM gaskets to the aftermarket alternatives to...

    Only Running on One Cylinder

    wel Well that's why I'm here:) This issue seems like it is out of my league. Admittingly I don't understand the one off concepts about boat motors that don't already apply to basic two stroke operation (like chainsaws and weedwhackers). However, you have just given me an idea! So if this is...

I'm also having trouble seeing why this would be a fuel delivery issue, I mean it seems lean but I cant even get the...

Primary winding has a resistance of 0.9ohms, and the plug to the CYL-1 wire has 2Kohms, not sure what it should have. Excuse my ignorance but I'm curious if the spark can jump a 1/2" gap shouldn't it...

    Thanks for the speedy reply racerone! That was actually my next weekend plan to drive back into the carbs :) I also just bought an induction timing light so I can reset the timing back to factory specs (I believe its 7 degrees ATDC at idle and 19 degrees BTDC at WOT). I'm also hoping to find...

    Only Running on One Cylinder

    Hi everybody! I'm new to this site, but I think you guys can help! I work on cars and lawn mowers but very new to boats and TBH, two strokes usually kick my ass. My dad and I bought a 15' boat with a 1974 Evinrude 50 HP outboard on it. The motor is a two stroke (my luck) and had been sitting...
