The lower unit oil on my 1970 60 HP was showing water so I replaced the drain & vent screw gaskets as well as the water pump & seals since the impeller was original.....and added a "pisser".
To complete the job I ordered the shaft seals, bearing housing O ring and retaining bolt O rings. While...
I need some sage advice from the experts. My 1970 60 HP 3 cylinder Evinrude (model 60073D) began misbehaving. It would start, idle and accelerate fine but after ~ 2 minutes at WOT would gradually loose power and shutdown. The motor would crank with spark and the head was ?Warm? to touch...
Hi Experts,
I'm nearly ready to install new gaskets on the exhaust cover and wonder what kind of sealer / glue I should use. The factory manual doesn't provide any clues and it sure looks like the originals were glued on.
Thanks

Last year Motor started & ran fine at power for about 5 minutes then bogs down and will not restart. Cranks freely with spark and no overheat (touch test). After ~ 1/2 hour cooldown can start and run at low power by toggling choke. Found large quantity of water in fuel (no seperator but have...
Last year my 3 cylinder engine ran sporadically, spewed unburned fuel and would stall. There was no spark at the plugs. Further inspection revealed that the amplifier wires were bare at the box. I rebuilt the carbs and installed a CDI Ignition box that fires at least 1 or 2 of the cylinders...
The lower unit on my 1970 Evinrude 60HP engine is leaking oil at the the prop end. I checked this topic and quickly found an explanation about unburned 2 cycle oil. Although I have this symptom, I'm writing because of water found in the oil. I jumped to the prop shaft seals but I'll try the...
Hi Forum,
The ignition system on my 3 cylinder engine (Points W/amplifier, 1 coil and distributor) has reached the end of its life. Is it possible to upgrade to the more robust mid 70's configuration (no points, true CD ignition and 3 coils) ? I can buy used components for a reasonable price...
When I start the engine it runs rich spewing an oil cloud and spits raw fuel. Advancing the throttle in gear before it warms up just bogs the engine down and it stalls. After warmup it idles OK, but after prolonged idle it will bog down and foul the plugs. I checked that the choke is OFF...
