    Ok - this has officially driven me nuts. 2015 F70 new to me. 80 hours. Runs beautiful from start up until first stop. Could be an hour, could be 20 minutes. After restarting from first stop. I live in an area with a lot of slow speed zones. She’ll run slow speed for about 4 minutes and...

    94 200hp trouble shooting

    Evening all. Took a new to me boat out today for its first sea trial. It would idle ok, and then sneeze every so often. At wide open it would rev to 3500, surge to 43, drop to 3500 and do that over. Everything felt like a timing issue. But for the life of me I can’t find a manual online...

    Doing a spark plug change on my 99 135 OptiMaxx and when I took out the number one spark plug it was very hard to get out and just as I feared when reinstalling a plug the threads were shot. so i’m going to attempt to run a tap in and clean up the threads. But I’m not very confident and I’m...

    How to handle contaminated gas

    200EXTED for what it may be worth. Running pre-mix Finally got the engine running great - but I’ve been using a portable tank as I assumed the sediment and such in an old sitting tank would (at minimum) cause running issues based on contamination. so I put 25 gallons in the tank, installed a...

    Lazy starter - E200txetd

    got the engine wired up, cleaned up a bit and wanted to give it a shot at turning over. Hooked up some water and turned the key and the starter barely turns the engine and started smoking. Wondering if there was an issue with the battery cables or battery switch I direct hooked a new...

    It begins - tilt and trim motor

    93 evinrude 200 looper in my previous post you may have read I’m trying to resurrect an old boat with an engine that hasn’t run in a while. Took out the old plugs and hit the cyls with tranny fluid and let it sit and then tcw3 - not trying to start it yet. Just verifying what’s working and...

    So I’m boat shopping again - always looking for the next project. Found this nice old mako with a Yamaha 200 “precision blend” (sorry didn’t get the model number) runs, idles. Smokes a lot. Talked to them about the engine - touched base with their mechanic and check this out. I’ve never seen it...

    Where to wire in Tach, 79 Johnson Seahorse 35

    Morning All - on previous motors i've had there was a grey tach wire that ran up tot he control box. Doesn't seem to be the case with this 35hp. Search uncovered it's directly wired to the rectifier (or i may be wrong there) - so i'm looking for a bit of insight on where it should be wired to...

    79 Johnson 35 idle?

    79 Johnson Seahorse 35 according to the manual the roller should line up with these two little marks on the timing roller. The engine isles fine and revs up relatively well. But I cannot find any way to adjust this piece to make the roller meet between them in neutral idle. am I missing...
