I want to get one paint gun that will do just about everything. I need to be able to paint my boats and cars, but also need to stain the deck and paint the house. Can one gun do it all. Should you get one good gun for automotives and a cheap one for everything else (stain and latex)? What...
What is the procedure for taking a boat off of a trailer on land? I need to fiberglass the bottom of my 800# boat and need to take it off the trailer and be able to get underneath it to work. How is that done?
Thanks!
gUYS, i FOUND A GOOD THREAD AND OUGHT TO HAVE SEARCHED FIRST. i HAE MY...
Thanks to everyone helping me get my well-used 1958 Evi, 35 hp Lark running at 39 mph.
I shut her down on Sunday because the mild tap that I heard while poking around above idle turned into a distracting clatter when wide open.
Power is surprisingly strong. Carb seems to be 100%. Seal...
I replaced all the seals that I could locate, but have 3 small ones left over.
1 is a small, chubby o-ring and I think that it likely seals the mechanical shift rod, but it is deep in the middle of the lower unit and I cannot reach it. I hear that there is a tool made for that.
There is...
I have a mechanical shifting 1958 Evi with 35 hp. When shifting, there is 1.5 inches of play/slop in the shift cable. I can tell that the shifting lever is rotating a lot before acting on the rotary shifting mechanism inside the motor. Am considering jamming a shim inside the linkage to take...
The old '58 Evi with 35 hp has slop in the steering. The downward lever that connects the cables/pullies rotates on a bolt about 20 degrees from right to left when the wheel is turned right or left. Should I weld the steering attachment in place? To just tighten the bolt will likely not fully...
Hello! I got my old 1958 Seagull running and the forward gear engaged. With a 35 hp, 1958 Evi on the back, I only had the nerve to go half throttle. At around 15 mph, the nose was raised up significantly. Pics are on my blog: http://jiminmontana.wordpress.com/ called Ann's boat. I'm 280 and...
I have been working on this old motor for about 10 hours!
The power head works flawlessly. But have had issues getting the mechanical shifter to do things correctly. Initially, it would only go in reverse. When shifted forward, heard the clicking sound coming from the vertical arm that...
Took the wife out Friday on a maiden voyage. Paddled to shore! She was cool with everything, but I have no forward. I installed new cables for this manual shifter and even with the cable adjusted al the way forward for max forward pull, what I hear is a click, click with every revolution. It...
I have a '57 Evinrude 35 hp Lark. Needs a new impellor. I am accustomed to electrical shifts and do not know the procedure for mechanicals. Could someone tell me the steps and mention any potential scfrew-ups to avoid? thanks.
Hey Folks:
I got an old Johnson 7.5 hp because it has wings on the hood that match my '57 LoneStar. Only trouble is that it has a fuel connector with fuel in and fuel return (I guess), so I need a connector to run fuel from the tank to the motor that uses two lines. 1) Where do you get one...
I got a 1958 finboat of 14 feet with 2 motors for $700 on a trailer. Have no idea what it is. The title says, "GFO" for the maker. Has a '58 Johny 35 hp and a 58 trailer with a make of "ATLA". The motor starts on the first compression! 2 buckets up front and a bench in the back.
The boat in...
I cannot get my Johny to fire at all. The key was lost and the ignition switch disconnected. I see that connecting the green to white causes the starter to operate. But what do I connect to get the "coil" to fire?
All the following wires are at the ignition switch end of the wiring...
50 HP Force has a bad coil, shaped like a baby bottle. Model number is 507F54 and 1350 serial number. Can you help me locate the part and tell me what year this was made?
Thanks
The Chart tells that a v4a-20 is a 1968 motor. But what of the L and ending A in the model number V4AL-20A? It is an extended or Long lower unit. Thanks
