I have a 6hp Evinrude worktwin outboard motor. Its a commercial model and the model number is E6RSZ. The bottom portion of the driveshaft is larger than the top and it came with a different impeller and cup than the old style 6hp ones or the newer ones. The cup diameter is similar to a 9.9 or...
What should the compression be on an 81 35 hp Johnson or evinrude and how low can it be before it affects operability adversely? I know if its 120 per cyl that's good and that's about the extent of my knowledge on it. I also understand it should be even - just wondering how low or how much wear...
Can anyone tell me what year this old Honda outboard is? BF75L 1500402 ? The charts I find either do not have it or I am not seeing where it is. I had thought I put a post on here last night but could not find it this morning so it could just be me not seeing the info
This may seem like a ridiculously dumb question but i have an old six hp johnson that does not seem to be getting any spark. Changed the plugs and gapped them and nada so pulled the flywheel off and ignition components look brand new. Took some fine sandpaper and cleaned the points anyways in...

This may sound like an inane question, but i joined this forum to ask questions like this when my brain does not seem to be working at its best. Does anyone know of a thread on here that discusses the swap i am doing? I went thru pages of posts and seen many for other sizes of motors and other...
Just wondering before i buy it, i wanted to ask if anyone knows if the powerhead or top part of a late 70's early 80's 30hp evinrude will fit an 81 35hp bottom?
Just what may seem to be a dumb question. Do i need to use gasket maker on the joint of the crank gasket when putting the bottom end back on a 6hp johnson that i removed to change the impeller. I know i have to use it on one side of the larger gasket but im talking about the small donut gasket...
I was wondering if anyone knows if the short shaft of a 1961 johnson 40hp will fit a 1975 johnson 40hp. I have the opportunity to purchase a longshaft one and before i do ( for once) i am inquiring as to exactly what i am getting into. If i have the right shaft i have read i have to cut five...
