I have been having a very un-pleasent experience with the united States Postal Service... <br /><br />Sold an item on ebay, that needed to be shipped overseas. Thought to myself I will try the USPS click n ship to pay for it so all I had to do was drop it off at the post office..yeah right...
I'm lookin to build a sport hydro in the future and thought I would look into a few motors. The plans for the boat are from the 60's. I've been lookin for one with HP range of 35-60. I found a few and am wondering what everyone thinks...<br /><br />Year unknown 35hp Sea King-missing spark on...
Don't know if this should be here or somewhere else... and I'm sure it will be moved if it don't belong :D <br /><br />I just got back from my second choice Johnson/Evinrude shop and we got to talkin about what my motor is doing... Surging at WOT... This is not to fix the surging I just...
So about a month ago I picked up my next project. A $200 1975 Chevy 3/4 ton truck from my wifes boss. A day before that the guy across the street comes home with some ol' beater... Everynight at about 1:30am I'd hear the beater start up. I Thought man he leaves at weird hours of the night...
This bites...First off.. After all the other stuff thats been done just got done with head gaskets..<br />Compression 115 range all cylinders<br />Cylinder #3 running lean, engine surges severly at WOT and eventually drops back to idle speed. If I bring it back to idle for a minute or two and...
1970 Evinrude 115...AGAIN<br /> Had some probs with overheatin the last time out(NEVER died on it's own because of heat) When bringing throttle up installed pisser would loose pressure. let cool.. Idled back to dock not overheating it (per hot lamp and pisser) Took a look at LU and found...
Everything was goin good.... Took the 70 115 evinrude back out last night and for the most part things were great until....<br /><br /> towards the end... after maybe 6-7 stops and restarts I noticed it had not really a surge and not really a mis<br /><br />Thought it was a fuel supply issue...
So after a good day at the lake we decide it's time to load up the boat and head home. It was about 5pm or so and the single ramp was gettin busy... both loading and unloading. There was a group of people that had three boats in the water... and a bunch of people at the dock waiting there...
Just thought I would update a bit on my motor<br />For those that don't know I bought this boat, trailer, and motor with unknown history and fighting battle after battle to get her goin again. This is what has been done to the motor<br />Resealed LU and changed fluid, Changed Distributor(2)...
OK...Last week I took the boat out... Finally got it to run WOT until it just died. Thought it was a sheard key but find out it is a rotor issue. (tab on rotor was broke so it wasn't keeping time) <br />Another thing I had a prob with is cavition or ventilation (not sure which one)with the...
Ok... so per this board I raised the engine... went up one notch and the water issues I once had pouring in the boat greatly decreased, but thought I would bring it up to the bottom of the boat as told.... So I raised it up.. It now sits level with bottom of boat.. But heres what I...
I've done alot of looking at this engine recently and one thing has got me confused.... How in the heck does the rotor really work in this motor... I know what it does and how it does it but a rotor turns.. and in this one what keeps it from stopping?<br /><br />Looked in manual and no say...
