    1967 Evinrude Sport 4 60 hp, 60753 A, Configuration Question

    Thank you! jimmbo, thank you. I don't think the fuel pump is the issue. We've squeezed the ball, played with choke, rotated distributor, twisted carb screws and we just don't seem to get a consistent response. We could pull the line, roll the starter and see how she spurts. But, since we're...

    1967 Evinrude Sport 4 60 hp, 60753 A, Configuration Question

    Took it out for a jaunt. Even with questionable performance we tried to let it run. Accelerates, falls off, ...repeat. Very inconsistent. When it runs, it's a great ride. Tried a little ignition advance play with no effect. Tried playing with carburetors and found the port side to be...

    60 hp EFI Won't Stay Running

    Indeed. Pulled the fuel pump exit line and got nothing. Opened the fuel pump and wondered how it even worked. Check valve not seated, no rubber bullet holding it in place, diaphragms decomposed. A complete mess. Replaced fuel pump. Great fuel flow from exit. Fuel also exits the Schrader...

    Okay, ... we'll take a peek. Seems that would also blow up the consumption number... J

    All good. Outstanding! Thank you, so much. J It's kind of weird to see all that fuel going into water. Vive la 60's!!!

    1967 Evinrude Sport 4 60 hp, 60753 A, Configuration Question

    I'd not seen this before. Its a lot of water draining. Is the exhaust leg full up top the water line? The fuel consumption does seem high. If I were to guess, maybe 2 mi/gal. Does this carburetor have a high speed adjustment where I can meter that? Thank you, all, J

    1967 Evinrude Sport 4 60 hp, 60753 A, Configuration Question

    I'm helping a friend with a 1967 Sport 4 60, model 60753 A. The engine is emitting some kind of oil / water mix through a small hole in the port side of the lower leg. The emission is mix of oily stuff, water and some kind of foamy stuff. With the engine shut down, fluid and bubbles drain out...

    60 hp EFI Won't Stay Running

    Hi, I am looking at a 60 hp 4-stroke, EFI that won't stay running. Starts fine, idles well, take it out and throttle up and it will die within a minute. Squeeze the ball, start it, repeat... Seems like it is fuel starvation. If it were carbureted, we'd consider a stuck needle valve and float...

    Need a Starter - How Can ID My Model Number

    Hi, I've got a Yamaha outboard, V-4, 130 hp that needs a starter. The transom bracket label is unreadable but the engine coin reads 307504. I can make out that the ghost of the transom bracket also indicates 307504 so that seems good. But, how can I turn the engine coin into a model number...

    How do I troubleshoot the solar panel of my lift?

    Thank you all. There's so much to say. The SunKeeper appears to be working according to directions. I don't have the panel plugged in right now so I can't show the complete wiring. The picture I do have includes a wired on/off switch and battery charger clamps so it is messy at best. I found...

    Solar Power, Hydraulic Boat Lift Not Charging

    Thanks for the reply. The panel is ICP Global, BatterySAVER PRO. The panel measures roughly 13 inches by 38 inches. I see on line that it may be 15W at 1A. The AC portion makes no sense to me but I don't know solar panels. The 18 VDC and the 1A sort of, being maybe, kind of close, almost...

    Evinrude 20 Poor Water Flow

    Water level made a huge difference. And, ..... we found a trickling head gasket, so that pressure drop can't be helping. New gasket on the way. And, ...... the engine needs revs to push water out the pee hole. The exhaust always shows water. With revs up, pee is pretty good. At idle pee...

    Evinrude 20 Poor Water Flow

    Okay. Good to know. We may not be 6 inches above. Not positive on parts' source. They were provided. Might be Sierra. However, the box label says Full Power Plus Impellers, Marine Pump and Part Corporation and UPC label does have Chinese characters. The kit number on the box is 393630. I...

    How do I troubleshoot the solar panel of my lift?

    I need help troubleshooting a solar panel lift for a Malibu ski boat. Hewitt lift. New battery. New SunKeeper 6 Solar Charge Controller. I do believe I have it wired correctly. Why does my battery not charge? What should I measure off the battery when it is supposed to be charging? Is it...
