    Sneezing with video

    It seems I may have this one solved. Of all things, I think it was drawing some air at the top Welch plug. It idles a little high and I have to keep it 2 3/4 turns out at the mixture, but stopped coughing, and I kept it running for about 5 minutes. I don't have another plug around, so I may find...

    Sneezing with video

    The reeds look OK visually. If richening it up with the needle doesn't help, might the next step be that upper seal? I've had it out as many as 4 turns, and it still sneezes. I have the cam follower just starting to move between the marks. I have days into this thing, and I'm starting to get...

    Carb cleaned multiple times, new points condensers, fuel line, powerhead gasket, and tank. Any idea what could be causing this sneeze? Correct packing in the needle 1 1/4 turns out. I'm lost.. video below.

    Preparing for a full day's rain out tomorrow, but I'll replace everything up in there Thursday and hope for the best, or post up a video if not. I'm sure you guys have seen it all..

    1975 25hp sneeze, and screw?

    As much as I was hoping not to remove the flywheel again, this makes sense. I have a new sierra points,condenser tune up kit, but I don't fully trust the aftermarket. Off she comes, and I'll post up a video when the rain stops. Thank you for nudging me to do so. Again..

    Pull powerhead to replace shufting rod?

    I'm pretty sure I need to pull the powerhead to replace my broken shifter on the 1975 25hp evinrude, but the clearance to get to that one bolt behind the exhaust housing, ..just whew. I don't think I can get to it. Any tips or tricks to share? I don't mind fabbing something up to temp shift, but...

    That was me, but it doesn't want to seat. when the outer nut turns, it turns with it. Not much material left to notch.

    1963 johnson 40 hp electric

    Great! I managed to get the flywheel off to look for cracked coils, but they seemed very nice. I lightly sanded the points, and saw spark just by rotating by hand. The wires in the harness had been submerged, and were falling apart, so I reran those. Only looking for the carb needle now, and...

    Just a quick question. Do these coils look original, or aftermarket?

    93 15hp evinride driving me NUTS!

    I have had the outboard for about 5 years and it has always been a decent runner, but would never troll quite the way i wanted it to. Recently, it started Bucking and stalling at idle, then would only start again with choke. then drove it back to the launch. Ordered a new carb kit and installed...
