I have found some parts on auction and can get them for a great deal. Can anyone tell me if the ignition (complete), carbs, and such are interchangeable. They look the same.
This is attached to a light, 16 ft. center consol. Motor starts great and idles. When you take it to higher RPM it runs OK for a short time and then drops to lower RPM and sputters. If you run it at 3/4 throttle it hesitates every 30 seconds or so and then drops off. when you throttle all...
The motor ran fine with the old controls. They were very stiff, when I investigated they had broken parts on the inside. I ordered the correct NEW controls and harness. Now I am getting nothing. Where do I start and what tools do I need? Dave
I need to know the best prop for a 1982 70hp Evinrude. It's pushing a 1973 16ft Center console that is very light. The stainless prop I have is pitted and has one bent blade. Thanks for the help!
My son and I are fixing up a boat and desided to replace the ignition on the control box with another one that worked better. They both have 8 screws and are lettered the same on the back. Somewhere along the way I confused the wiring. Now we can't start the motor. Is this a lost cause? Is...
The outboard is running fine, shifting through gears, but it blows a constant white smoke from the lower unit prop area. Is this a major concern? What is the best fuel mixture for this engine?
I've been told that older model outboards hp do not match with the newer model outputs. What is the conversion. I have an older boat that specs an 80 hp for maximum outboard size. What would that be in modern hp?
This boat is made by DreamBoat. When I baught it I was told that the ribbing had all been repaired. You can see evidence of the repair. I have two questions related to the boat. First it came with a non-functional outboard (85hp). It is rated for 80hp. what are my best options for...
This is an electric shift. My guess is that it will not shift into neutral. When the motor turns over the prop turns as well. If you shift it from forward to neutral it turns one way when attempting to start. If you shift from reverse to neutral it turns the other way when starting. I do...
1968 evinrude model #58593 A, serial #EO5899. This is another attempt, my first post was lost somehow. This outboard is attached to a 16' boat on a trailer. The asking price is $600. The boat is old and seems in good shape. I will test in the water tomorrow. Owner said he can get the motor...
I have spotted the project for the winter. This is an older fiberglass skif 16ft. Best of all it has an almost antique outboard attached. Not sure of the condition yet. Is this a good motor? He is asking $600 for all including trailer. Anyone have any experience, suggestion of value?<br...
Anyone know the best place to order a new pull cord online? The old one is fraid and showing the cable. The cloth part is sticking in the pully. Thanks for any help or advise. Dave
I need some advice on repairing a pull cord. The one on the outboard looks to be original. The outer cover of the cord had separated and pulled back off the cable. Anyone have a part number or replacement ideas? I'd like to stay as original as possible. Also when the motor is tilted it...
