So I went to the lake today...took out my ole Jon boat with this 62 Sportwin. Fired up first pull. Ran great out to the other side of lake. I fished for 4hrs using trolling motor. Went to leave...checked primer bulb, started motor...ran ok for a few minutes then it started running...
Looking for some info. How far away can you place a remote tank from the outboard? 62 Evinrude 10hp. I have a 15 ft Jon boat it's on...I'm a big guy so I'm trying to distribute weight forward towards the bow as much as I can. I can't find any info out there. I know with larger engines with...
Took my old boat out for the first time since I owned it...5+ years. Kept taking on enough water to pump the bilge every 5 mins or so...only was taking on water when the boat was in motion and the stern was lower in water. It was last night. Couldn't find where water was coming in from. This...
Was trying to get my ole boat ready for the water...it starts and runs fine. Had to replace the alternator today. Tried out the alternator and it generates power...but when switched off the engine kept running and the voltmeter was bouncing. Had to choke off the air to the engine to shut it...
I've got oil mixing with water somewhere in my engine. I'm getting a goopy sludge in the entire exhaust tract.
Here's what the plugs looks like
Or am I paranoid? Lower unit has to be stripped and cleaned out because it's rusty and had no oil in it :/. But my concern is with what gasket...
I need to figure out for sure what model engine I have for sure. The serial number is 5520-07440 on the transom mount. There is a disc on the engine head that says Evinrude over 10024 over 01190. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi all been a while since I was last on here. Got a 40s TD 20 I revived last winter and used the **** out of it this pass summer. Motor is simple and reliable but I'd love to be able to add a remote tank and use the built in tank as a reserve. I know she doesn't have a fuel pump. Does anyone...
Well I managed to revive the old 5hp 49' Johnny. All I need that I'm aware of is the leather seals for the primer. Not a huge issue. The recoil spring broke so I'm starting it the ole fashioned way...wrap and pull. Plug boots, new plugs, and some condensers(slight mod to fit). She ran...
As usual I've acquired another antique that needs love. First impression is she looks to be OK. Good compression and fuel system is solid...nice the lines are copper and don't rot lol. My big issue is in ignition I believe. There is voltage registered on my multimeter via the plug wires when...
I was rooting around the threads and the net and cannot find an answer to my satisfaction. At what point do these need replaced? Mine is pretty corroded on the inside around the top of the bend. Looks like the thin metal between the exhaust passage and the water jacket is rusted through. I'm...
Well I did it again...acquired a new boat (to me) for free(the good part). The bad part is it has been 5 years or so since it ran last. The boat itself has rotted decks but before I start the rebuild I'd like to revive the power plant to ensure I don't rebuild the deck for nothing! I'm very...
So I've decided to retrofit my v4 115 from 75 to have the tell tale! The process is straight forward, and there is a thread in the FAQ about it. I know to place it on the starboard upper cylinder to prevent an air pocket. Is there anything else I need to do with it? Like looping the hoses...
Re: Drive shaft snapped (1990 140hp)
This one has threads for pulling on the front( left end of pictured carrier).....whereas one without those 2 threaded holes requires a pair of jaw pullers to pull from behind the prop end...the other 4 holes are not threaded for the bolts that attach to the...
Re: Johnson 115 wont turn off with the ignition
Did you mis wire it by chance? I'm gonna try to put the wiring diagram up for you...I've got the same engine, just a 1975 one...
