    Old motor, new problem

    I have a 1980 Evinrude 150. I have been doing minor work on it for a few months. Yesterday I finished what I thought was going to be the last repair, but noticed a new problem. When the engine is running (on the muffs) it drips water from the bottom of the exhaust cover. Major issue?

    Evinrude Deflectors????

    My engine was overheating and when I pulled the heads and water jackets and identified swelled deflectors. In my search with local dealers, most did not have them, some did not know what they were and one told me that when they rebuild Johnson/Evinrude motors they use 5/32 fuel line instead of...

    Ever tried this????

    I have an 81 Evinrude 150 that does not have the speedo hole drilled into the foot. Anyone ever drilled the foot and tapped a fitting in to feed the speedo from the foot? How hard is it? What size bit and fitting should I use. I am thinking it would be very accurate when compared to my external...

    82 ranger with 89 Johnson 200

    This is a friend of mines boat, but it has some issues. The motor was just rebuilt (blown cylinder). The motor wants to spit and cough at just above or at idle. The linkage appears to be in sync and it runs great from about 1100 rpms to 5400. The last bit of throttle does not seem to increase...

I can get it up on the pad if I turn the boat slightly to the right, but once the boat straightens out, I...

    Is it 150hp, or 200hp

    I have a 1980 Evinrude 150. After reviewing the SELOC manual and checking on virtually every part on the motor and from what I can tell it specs out to be identical to the 175 and 200 horse engines for the same year. I checked every thing from the coils, power pack, cylinders, bore, stroke...

    Evinrude 150 runs better when choked

    I have a 1980 Evinrude 150 and a lot of questions about it. It sat around for long periods of time between use before I got it and now that I have used it a few times it seems to have a fuel flow problem. When I am at idle it runs very smooth, but when I open it up to get up on plane it seems...
