Thanks for all the replies. You guys have always been a lot of help when i think I've covered everything but still scratching my head. Latest update : Spark plugs are correct, overheat alarm not working yet but that's next so after running awhile I'm feeling the water stream. Water pump good and...
Thanks, I will see if I can find that info. I don't see anywhere it might go other a threaded hole in the block behind the T-stat. Threaded but no plug inserted and looks like that might be it. I'm running as I'm posting. Running in drum and idle fluctuating 1060-1200. When putting in gear it...
Yeah I've needed a good quality gauge for awhile. When I pulled the head I noticed no scoring but might pull it off and check again if I can't find anything else . The telltale hose comes off the side of the block. As far as the electricals, The new battery kept dying and wasn't charging...
This motor was brought to me after sitting for approx. 10 years and I was asked to get it going. I've had idle issues from day one and when I could keep it idling in gear then get it to WOT it would run a mile or two then start losing power and shut down. Would not crank up again till I got back...
Going to disconnect all. Have been grasping at straws trying to figure out what's going on. Left the purple, tan/blue connected for power and because even though the overheat and water sensors send warning signal when grounded I wasn't sure if horn signal for the water sensor might be triggered...
Yes I get the self test and with all wiring connected but when I ground the water sensor I get the light in the module but no horn and when engine starts cranking the oil alarm comes on. If I disconnect the oil rotation sensor only only, I still get the alarm. Leaving the tan/blue connected...
My 95 175XRI started the beep beep beep beeps a year ago. I don't have the oil injection hooked but it's not blocked off and all sensors and module are connected. That's the way it has been since I bought this boat and haven't had any issues. Was thinking that I might eventually go back to oil...
starting a this new project. Have a 98 Evinrude 70hp four stroke that a friend has brought to me. Has been running hot as well as motor knocking. Pulled the lower unit off and the driveshaft was locking. Forward and pinion gear are trashed so I'm going to rebuild complete. Question is, would it...
Need some opinions from the maritime gurus again. I'm checking for a friend and have not looked at his outboard. He has a 98 Yamaha S250TRXW with an rpm issue. Runs fine @4200rpms but when just touching the trim switch in either direction the rpms jump to 4800. The mechanic told him that it is...
Question for the maritime gurus. At what pressure does the pressure valve open on this engine? Have replaced impeller. checked the T-stat and pressure valve for sticking but both are good. Tried flushing water through the water tube and no water coming through. Only get a drip from the water...
