    Idle lever/ low reverse speed

    When I lift the idle lever on the control to my 1982 35hp, it has no effect on the idle RPM. Also, when I put the engine into reverse, the motor shifts to reverse, but the RPMs do not rise either. I am able to go full throttle in forward, but have no throttle changes in neutral or reverse. I...

    Custom Layout?

    Does anyone have a site that has info on building your own custom interior setup for a fishing boat. I have a 16ft lund that I want to do some custom work to, and I would like to see others ideas and how they did their project. I remember seeing someones page a year ago or so where he took a...

    Differences between 70's-80's 40-48-50hp models?

    What are the differences between these models? Are some 2-cyl and some 3-cyl? When did they go to VRO? I currently have a 35hp 1985 Johnson SeaHorse and I would like to max out the HP to a 40hp. If the 40,48,50hp engines are the same weight, size, cowl, i would like to put a 50hp on it, with a...

    How does this work?

    My engine is a 1984 2 cyl 35hp Evinrude. I am curious how each piston fires (not sure how to state the question exactly) When i am around like 1/4 throttle and then accelerate slowly, it almost sounds as if it kicks on the other cylinder, there is a noticeable change in pitch with the engine...

    Running on one cylinder again!!!

    Again i am back for more insight into my motor (1984 35hp) that is really frustrating me. Here are the symptoms... The motor is running on only one cylinder, the bottom one. I re-built the carb over a year ago, and it ran great up until the end of last fall and it started running on one...

    What can cause this??

    1984 35hp Evinrude Remote steer These are my symptoms, can someone help me diagnose this? When i try and start the engine, it will only start and run very rough, with the electric choke set to manual (red switch perpendicular to the choke selnoid itself) Once i turn the choke to automatic...

    Coverting 1984 35 from remote to tiller?

    99.9% of my boating is done by fishing, and i think i could save a lot of space in my boat and have much better boat control if my motor were a tiller. What all is involved in converting a remote steer to a tiller, besides a new handle? Can the exiting throttle linkage work? Honestly, is it...

    Hour counter?

    Are there any after market hour counters available for motors? I want to put one on my 1984 35hp Evinrude to help me keep up with maintenance on the motor. Thanks!

    How often to rebuild carbs?

    I am having fuel delivery problems (1984 35hp remote) and i'm not sure why. I re-built the carb about a year ago, with a whole new carb kit. Now how often should i have to do that? I run the motor a lot, probably much more than most because i fish at least 100+ days a year. Twice i have pulled...

    What is this???

    My 1984 35hp Evinrude is running on one cylinder. I have 130lb of compression in each cylinder, and i have spark on both cylinders. I re-built the carb and fuel pump and it's still running on one cylinder. One thing that i think may be causing the problem is this so called "electric primer"...

    Dumb question, needed to remove doubt....

    The other day, when in a pinch, i mixed my gas 50:1 ratio, with 2-CYCLE oil that was advertised to be used with weed wackers and lawn mowers, ect. Can i not do this? I ran the motor full throttle from the ramp to the dam about 4 times with no problem, but then the next day, on my way to the...

    Running half power???

    The other day while on the river my 1984 35 hp Evinrude drops to about half power, both cylinders still firing. When i got to where i was going, it wouldn't even fire back up. So i got home and re-built the fuel pump as i had just cleaned the carb less than a month earlier. I even took off the...

    Remote help need please! PICS!!!

    I have a 1985 35hp evinrude I got done servicing my engine, i replaced the impeller, and cleaned the carb out. When i was all done, i was shifting the throttle and when i tried to come back into neutral from forward, it would not go. I removed the linkage to discover it looks like the cable is...

    Weird problem... 35hp Rude

    So the other day my motor was running bad. It would run full throttle for about 15 seconds then die, then run really rough again. Let it sit for a while, and it would repeat this. So i re-built the fuel pump, cleaned out the carb, and ran seafoam through it and it still does it. Well i found...

    Full throttle issue....

    My 35hp Evinrude doesn't want to run at full throttle. It will run fine anywhere up to 1/2 throttle, but when you get above 1/2 throttle, it runs for 10-20 seconds (depending on amount of throttle given) then dies. I just re-built the carb, but i have run a lot of gas (about 50 gal) through it...
