I overhauled my 1988 Evinrude 90 (new rings, new tstats, new water pump, cleaned carbs). Linked and synched on the garden hose. Ran great. I had run it on the garden hose about 4 times for a total of about 1 hour. Took it out today for first water run and ran great for first 30 minutes at max...
A year ago, the lower bearing disintegrated, knocking a hole in the block "half" that bolts to the part with the pistons. A welder fixed the hold and I just completed putting this engine back together.
The engine was stripped to the block, which was honed. The machine shop reinstalled new water...
... after I overhauled the powerhead. Maybe for a pro - no big deal and to be expected, but for a scientist, albeit former certified auto mechanic, this is a big deal.
I started a rebuild on my 1988 Evinrude 90 a year ago, got busy, and didn't finish the rebuild until last week. Somewhere along the way, I lost the regulator/rectifier. According to this page and to my local parts supply house, they show both a rectifier part no. 66 and a regulator/rectifier...
I am having the block on my 1988 Evinrude 90 cleaned and honed. The machine shop wants to know what the bore is of the current pistons and I can't find any markings on the pistons. Where would the markings on an OEM Evinrude piston be to indicate if it is .00 or .010 or .020 etc.? They are...
I have a 1982 Evinrude 90 with newer controls, post 1996 I think. I recently replaced the water pump because it would overheat and steam would come out of the telltale. Now, the alarm goes off while it is on the rabbit ears. I have not run it in the water. I can see no indication that it is...
My 1988 Evinrude 90 had been performing flawlessly. Today, while at about 2000 rpsm, there was an occasional clunking sound and then the engine shut off. I could not turn the flywheel.
At home, I took off the heads and the cylinders seem okay. I can turn the flywheel counterclockwise several...
My 1982 Evinrude 90 developed a tilt fluid leak when I had to use the manual release. There is a snap ring that I assume holds in the seal. Has anyone replaced this? How nasty of a job is it?
Thanks in advance.
I have a Yamaha 704 dual binnacle with twin SWS II 200s. The engines are 1997 and I suspect the binnacles are the same age. Although the shifting works without obvious binding, it is clearly not as smooth as a new boat, which is especially noticeable when I am docking.
Is there standard...
My rh starboard engine got water in the lower unit. My mechanic can't get to it for 3 weeks so I am considering a diy. I am mechanically inclined and have done considerable outboard work before, but no LU work. I will then pre-emptively replace the seals in the other engine as well.
When I...
Rodbolt or Ray: I broke the bolt that is at the bottom of the engine frame and connects to one end of the ground wire. The other end of the ground wire connects to the other part of the frame that holds the zincs.
The bolt is flush with the bottom. Can I just drill a new hole next to it and...
I took my boat out on Thursday and on the return, the starboard engine died (naturally, right as I was approaching the dock :-(. Once on the lift, I managed to get it started but it ran like sheet. I had to chock the engine to get it started and then it would die in a few seconds. I suspected...
I dropped the lower unit on one of my 1997 Yamaha Saltwater Series II 200s to clean out the speedo hole and when I re-installed it, the engine won't engage into gear.<br /><br />Rodbolt or Ray, is there something simple I forgot to do or that I didn't reinstall? :confused:
I just replaced the tilt piston of one of my 1997 Yamaha 200 SWS II. I replaced the other about 4 months ago.<br /><br />After removing and replacing the piston, the motor has lost prime. Currently, all three (2 trim and 1 tilt) pistons are down. When I try to raise or lower the pistons, the...
