Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can pickup a carb float for a 1964 Evinrude 40hp Big Twin. I normally buy my parts here on Iboats but I don't think they stock it. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Hi all, I have a 4cyl Merc 470 165 Hp in a 1989 Regal Sebring. I'm getting water in my oil at a rapid rate. This motor has a closed circuit cooling for salt water. I've heard it could be a cracked block or head and the thing is that I lose no coolant. Anitfreeze is always full. Its the fresh...
All, I would like to give a official Thank you to iboats.com and to all of you who helped me rebuilding this motor. Without you I wouldn't have completed this so easy. Please see the vid below. Keep in mind the motor was in BAD non-running condition. All the paint on the engine was chipping and...
All, I have a 66' 40 hp Evinrude and I'm having trouble getting the prop back on. I pulled it off with my bare hands and I would expect to put it back on the same. I checked for anything obstructive and its all clean. Any tips? :) thanks guys.
All, I am rebuilding a 66 40 Hp Big Twin and went on autopilot when it came to change the lower unit oil. I removed the phillips head screw to drain and while it was out I went through the gears and noticed a shifting problem. That when I researched and found I shouldn't have moved this. Do you...
I have a 1966 40HP Evinrude Big Twin. I noticed I have a wire coming out of the block by the cylinder heads. Its by the lower cylinder. I was wondering if this is a over heat sensor. This motor was disconnected from the boat it was on when I bought so I can't reference where the wire goes. Any...
I have a 1966 40HP Evinrude Big Twin. I just finished rebuilding the carb and I'm not sure on how to set the automatic choke. Also there is a cylinder with a piston that connects at the bottom. When I disassembled for cleaning the piston fell out and some of the oil from inside. I put the piston...
Rebuilding a carb on a Evinrude 40HP 66' Big Twin and the low speed needle is a little worn. Not bad like shown in the manual. I was wondering if there's a way to re-tip this. Thanks Guys
Hi, I have a 1966 Evinrude 40 hp Big Twin that I'm restoring. Thanks to the great help here on iboats I have successfully ordered all the parts to do so. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks when it comes to rebuilding this carb? (My first carb rebuild) I do have the service manual...
Hello again! I just purchased a 1966 Evinrude 40 HP Big Twin w/elect start. I have ordered everything I need to rebuild this motor except a fuel pump. I'm pretty sure this motor has one but I'm not seeing it listed in the parts mall here on iboats.com. I was wondering if anyone had any info on...
Hi I'm replacing my ignition system and plug wires on my 57 Evinrude 18hp Fastwin and I'm having trouble getting the old wires out. I have taken out one coil to see that the wire's shot. I'm just wondering if there's a easy was to get these out. The wire brackets are on the bottom of the coil...
Hi thanks for looking. I have a question and I'm giving this a second thought.. I have a 87 165 Merc 4 cyl with water in the oil. This seems to be taking on water in the block very quickly. The thing that has me stumped is this is a closed cooling system and doesn't put water into the motor...
Hi I have a 165 merc 4 cyl in a 87' Sebring. This motor has a cracked block and possibly more wrong with it. I've found another motor (165 6 cyl merc) to replace this but I'm wondering if this will match up to the Alpha 1 drive. Is this possible?
I have a 1987 Regal Sebring with a 165 Merc Serial # B488663, 4 cyl 224 CID. I have water getting into the oil somehow and the outdrive has some sort of a epoxy patchwork :confused: I just purchased this boat for $2000 and the boat itself is in good shape. My question is would it be worth it for...
Hi I have a 1987 Regal Sebring with a 165 merc 3.7L that I just purchased for 2K. I went to change the oil today and it looks like a milkshake coming out. This engine was converted for salt water so the cooling is internal. The motor does run good if that makes a difference. I know its probably...
