This is great info, and I thank you for this! The new fuel pump works great all through the rpm range. I put new plugs in and am going to test it tomorrow. Im also going to back the idle adjustment screw out if needed.
I will reply with the results.
Thanks again .
Hi,
I replaced my VRO pump with the one in the attached picture. Since then, the engine has run great, but..... seems like when the summer arrives I get vapor lock.
Starts up fine, runs great until the engine heats up after running normally for a while. Shut off the engine and sit for 15-20...
Hi,
Idles great and runs great under load up to 1500 rpm. when brining it between 1500 to 2000 rpm, it wants to die and usually does.
On the muffs, all seems well.
I did recently bypass the vro. I premixed non ethanol at 50:1. seems to run better than when injecting oil using the vro.
Im...
I just had the no oil alarm issue. Ended up being a broken/cracked fuel splice tube or nipple. You can see where the piece broke off but it is also cracked which let air into the vro system.
Hi,
i've not been on this forum in quite some time.
my question is that when it rains, i get a decent amount of water in the bilge.
if i cover the cockpit, i do not get any leakage or water in the bilge.
just want to see if anyone has had this issue with a similar boat.
So I have what looks like one 85 gallon tank. There is a switch on the console that says "main" and "aux".
Is there really an axilliary tank or just one single 85 gallon tank?
Also looking for an online users manual.
Thanks!

Is there a trick to getting the shift rod back in its proper position?
I see the flat area of the bottom of the shaft, but can't get it to seat fully? It came out easy, Ha!
Thanks!

Seems like a dumbe question but here goes. How do I know for sure I amm running on both cylinders? Make sure both plugs look the same after running it for a while? Check for spark on both cylinders? I have good compression, 120psi on the top an 110 on the bottom.
Thanks!

I have a 8.0 HP Yachttwin 1995 Two Stroke that runs decent. I know I have some minor scroing on the bottom cylinder. It more resembles a smooth, dark gray streak the length of the cylinder stroke and about 1/4 inch wide. The motor runs decent, but I think I am getting some blowby resulting in...
I have a 1995 Yachttwin 8HP 2 Stoke. I was wondering what oil most people use. I have been running some off brand and think it may be causing excessive smoke. My mixture is good, 8 oz oil to 3 gallons of gas.
Thanks!
Has anyone ever tried to make their own?
The specs are:
3/8" outer diameter
1/8" wall thickness
23-25" long
Flarred at one end
I am trying to find a piece of hard copper pipe to make one myself before spending the $60 Evinrude wants.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
I have all the bolts loose and the powerhead can be rocked a small amount front to back and side to side. It looks like the shift linkage does not come into play on power head removal but I'm not 100% on this. I have the lower unit off, but not the extension.
What else needs to be removed...
Seems like after I warm up, I get enough exhaust coming into the engine cover to make the motor run a bit rough. It's a 8 HP 2 stroke yachttwin, 1995.
I have a new fuel mixture and am running some cheap walmart oil. Should I be using better oil? Maybe a carb rebuild?
Thanks!
