have a 1982 evinrude 7.5 and doing some engine, is anybody out there doing, or have done engine work on model #E8RCNR?

What information do you need for this simple motor ?

 

[Rich68]

Don't need any thing as of yet, just ordered new fuel pump that will be arriving soon. See how things go after installation. Your right about this motor being a basically simple motor, everything is just right there. Maybe if I get stumped somewhere down the line, I can give ya shout, huh?

 

[racerone]

What is your motor doing / not doing ?-----What trouble shooting has been done ?----I have more than one example of that motor.----Do not need a manual for any repair work.----Why did you order a new fuel pump ?----Nothing goes wrong with those pumps that a new diaphragm can't fix.----Less than $10 or so.------And no I do not install Amazon parts !

Lol, amazon is good for some things, one has to know what not to buy from them, I been going with Crowley Marine so far, kinda of alone on all this until now. Its a learning experience.
It was running great, but let it set for a couple of months, perhaps downfall, then it wouldn't start. Pulled the carburetor off and cleaned it up, replaced bad fuel with new, basically cleaned everything up, still no go. Pulled fuel pump off and it was a mess, full of an unbelievable amount of debris, so I said hell with it and ordered another one, process of elimination I suppose.

Better check or replace your fuel tank.

Yea that was on the agenda, cleaned out the fuel tank, replaced lines, and new fuel filter, the whole thing pretty much overhauled. Spot on with tank and lines.
thanks

Don’t throw away your old pump.
You may need it again someday.

 

[racerone]

New diaphragm is $5.33 in US funds.

Use to save things that I thought I may need at a latter date, but I have implemented a rule, if I have to move it out my way over three times its gone, I felt this was one of those items.
But thanks

I checked out the overhaul kits, and what not, but decided, go for new, you only live once.
Thanks

Im in my 60s now but one thing my Dad drilled into me was;
"Dont ever throw away an old part until the new one is installed and working. Even then, you may want to wait a bit"
Words of wisdom that I still live by

I save just about everything unless it 100% broken and even then I’ll taking it apart and salvage what’s still good. It’s a illness. My friends give me hell for it but I’m the first guy they call when they need some strange part.

Yep, Im keeping and old 3.7 running...
Needless to say, I have pallets full of parts

 

[Rich68]

Ok, ya'll busted me, I still have a lot of stuff I'll probably never use, and it is a lot of fun giving someone a part they couldn't find.
