Evening, was out fishing today and my motorguide x3 lost 1st and 2nd speed. 3,4&5 works. Any ideas? I need to check out the speed control switch... There's red black blue and yellow wires. I know the red and black... Any ideas what the yellow and blue do? Evidently there's not a separate...
Oh, also i mentioned 2.5 dead cylinders. one of them #6 backfires a little and when disconnected the motor runs smoother. Guess it could be running a little lean or something. I've gone through the carbs with compressed air is all. Haven't messed with the rich lean settings.
Hi, i have a 89 Evinrude 200hp (on my Stratos bass boat). I'm having starting problems, can only get it started cold by using the manual start solenoid (red lever) under the fuel pump. It is my understanding that i should only need to use that thing if i need to manual start the flywheel with a...
Hi, I have a 200hp 1989 evinrude and I lost spark suddenly. Following the shop manual I troubleshooted until I reached the sensor coil resistance test. The timer base failed this test, i removed and inspected it. I noticed one of the (magnets?) had a big chunk missing out of it. The other was in...
Hi, i have the magneto off and am looking to replace the upper seal. Do i need to split the powerhead to do this? or just pull it out with a pick or something from the top? any tips? Thanks.
while trying to start it will backfire a ton of fuel out of the exhaust, also when i tip the motor up it drains a bunch out as well. when i finally get it started it will run like it always has, and even start back up after its warm. getting tired of dumping fuel in the water though. any...
Hey guys, I'm looking for a used prop for my 58 seahorse 18hp. I'm hoping somebody has one laying around that they would sell. Or if their are thoughts on other props that would work, i would appreciate the info. Thanks.
Anybody know where i can find one, or where i can find the size of it. i have an assortment of screws that are close but I don't want to screw up the threads by using the wrong size. Thanks guys.
Hey there, i got a motor i have been working on for a while. Finally got it to run a bit and it dies once the carb runs out of fuel. It does run if i set the tank above the motor or if i press the primer button (two line fuel line btw). I have rebuilt the carb and the tank and can't find any...
Starts right up and runs and sounds great for like 30 seconds. i thought the problem was my tank, went and bought new gaskets and now have excellent prime, however it did not fix the problem. I have great compression at 100, great spark and am at a loss. The carburetors are so simple on...
from my understanding this would generally mean i'm not keeping my prime, but i have checked my hoses and fittings and can't find any leaks. just to clarify when i raise the tank it will run for a good 15-20 seconds, but then will die. with the tank lowered i can get two or three seconds. I have...
Hi, i had to replace the main spring in my rewind starter and after i have everything back together my pawl wont engage after the first pull. the pawl is brand new, same with the springs that attach to it. The pawl rotates freely by hand, but for some reason after the first pull when the...
Hey there. Have a 58 seahorse 18hp. I'm thinking about converting it to electric start. I'm having a tough time finding a kit.
Also on the upper rich lean adjustor I split the needle by tightening the screw too much so am looking for that and the knob that goes with it.
I guess while I'm at...
