    Swapping motors

    Does anyone know what is involved in swapping and e-tec 115 to an e-tec 135HO? Is it a simple remount, connect up the controls (and verify proper operation) and go? Is there stuff that needs to be done by a dealer and a computer connection? I only have the basic evinrude tachometer, not the...

    variable rpms on e-tec 115

When I have the key off and the guage connected, the wires that would be connected to the battery show a couple Ohms less resistance than when the guage is disconnected, then it shows the same resistance as an open circuit. So, is...

    carbs lose prime

    Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and have been able to get all the info I need by searching so far. I run a Honda BF 90 on a Lowe 175 FS, all 2006. Background: In the past, I've had to squeeze the fuel bulb to prime the carbs if the engine has been off for any longer than an hour of so...
