    Tubojet 115 Evinrude. The horror continues!

    I'm starting this thread to get a recommendation as after 7 months, and another rip off I've thrown in the towel. 1994 Evinrude 115 V4 inboard (Turbojet), power head rebuilt, and electronics replaced. All electronics check good with proper test equipment, and procedures from factory manual...

    94 115 Evinrude still crossfiring ign.

    This has certainly been an ordeal. It's been now some 4 months of trying to get it running correctly. I recently posted a message indicating that the ignition was crossfiring between 1 and 3 and 4 was firing on borth 2 and 4. It was suggested that the new CDI powerpack was bad. It has been...

    94 115hp Evinrude no #2 spark and crossfire

    Last post bore no fruit so this is where I'm at.<br /><br />All tests of ignition hardware show good using OMC manual tests and specs.<br /><br />Timing light on #1 and #3 show double fire, timing light on #2 shows firing on #4 and light on #4 shows firing on #4. This is a crossflow V4 with a...

    OMC 115 V4 crossfiring ignition.

    Sigh. I started this rebuild in February and am still throwing time and money at getting it to run right.<br /><br />Marked flywheel for all cylinder positions. Hooked timing light to individual plug wires trying to determin miss and backfire. #1 ok, #3 shows crosstalk with #1, #2 shows...

    1994 Evinrude 115 Tubojet timing?

    I've done several searches, and need info on setting the timing, and idle (idling REAL fast right now). Clymer manual is a bit vague in this area. Thanks

    115 V4 dead top cylinders.

    I've started this new thread since the last one seems to have resulted in the issue being spark related, and not fuel. 1994 v4 crossflow. New engine, carbs, power pack, and timer base. I just threw in a new set of plugs and after trying to keep it running I pulled the top plugs, and sure...

    Miss and VERY wet plugs.

    1994 Turbo Jet (Evinrude 115 V4 crossflow) New engine, and rebuilt carbs. Top cylinders missing bad, and ALL plugs VERY wet and oily. Running on the hose I get a sizeable puddle of oil under the boat after a few minutes.<br /><br />Could this be an over rich condition? I've gone through the...

    No top cyl power. Carb or Ign?

    Just overhauled Evinrude 115 v4 1994. The carbs were done also. When running (poorly) I can remove the plug wires from the top cylinders and there is little defference in the rpm. Removing the bottom wires will kill lt. I have very good compression. Removing the plugs shows they are ALL...

    Great price PVA Peak voltage adapter!

    I've been looking high and low for a meter or adapter to do peak voltage. Meters are very expensive, and an adapter (other than the one from ES in Chili) were also $85 $90). Surprisingly Fluke does not make a meter that will do Peak reading (that from Fluke themselves) because of the frequency...

    Stator voltage too high?

    1994 Evinrude v4 115 crossflow cd4 ignition. I'm testing the stator, and everything on the web as well as my Clymer manual says a minimum of 150+ volts across the brown wires. I built an adapter for my meter, and checked it against a wall outlet. It shows 169 volts as it should. The stator...

    Looking for Turbo jet part.

    As many know the Tubo Jet unit was used by many boat manufacturers. I'm in need of the coupler (OMC 340871) preferably used are a better price than the dealers want. Turbo jet marine has the same price as the dealer. Basicly the damn thing is an aluminum 3" round and tall threaded at both...

    EMRGENCY HELP NEEDED!!

    I've posted a few topics on getting this overhauled Evinrude 115 tubojet running and today succedded after removing a restriction in the primer circuit and double checking every last orifice in the carbs. After getting it running I put the water to it, and hit the starter. It rotated a few...

    How to test VRO fuel delivery?

    Still fighting getting fuel to this overhauled 94 Evinrude 115 Turbo Jet. Carbs were done too. Misting gas into it will get it to run. VRO oil is disconnected, and fresh 87 with 50:1 in tank. Fuel bulb pumps up hard (is it suppose to be before or after the VRO?), and start sequence is pump...
