    Cruise n Carry 6500 12 lb 1.5hp outboard nylon bushings

    I know I am not the first, or only frustrated Cruise n Carry owner looking for spacer bushings that fit into the transom mount. What I want to know is, has anyone out there come up with a genius way to work around the problem and create substitute bushings? About a year ago, I saw these little...

    Evinrude 2hp Getting water in the cylinder

    Early 1980's Evinrude "Mate"..... took it out on my Avon Rover, and wanted to flush when I got home, and when it started, it ran at maybe 15% with the throttle held wide open. Took the plug out and it was hydrated with grey looking water..... so I popped the head and even more water... replaced...

    Fuel Line Primer for Clinton J9

    I got this Clinton last week, and going through it was easy enough. BUT.. when I inspected the fuel line that came with the motor, I found that the primer (an 8 inch long 1 inch diameter squeeze pump) is blowing on BOTH ends. Shouldn't it suck fuel on one side and blow out the other ?? It's...

    1963 Eska Skipper 3hp Restoration

    I came across this outboard (for 30.00) and could not resist bringing it back to life. I went through the ignition and got spark, then cleaned the aviation carb (no bowl version) and re-cleaned. And low and behold, she ran. You gotta love 50 year old outboards!!! Question: it looks like the...

OK.. saw an ad for a folding 3hp little-rude and I bought it a really low price. (so I thought) All...

    5.0 Tecumseh Game Fisher: need help with igintion coil

    Need some help here. I have no spark what-so-ever, so the flywheel is off and I think I know what the problem is (maybe). OK, with the points open, the terminal bolt is still grounded to the power head, and this is not right. After all, the terminal bolt is insulated where it goes through the...

    British Seagull throttle cable extension resource needed

    OK, this is a long shot, but I have had pretty good luck with this forum in the past so here goes: I am building a Gator Swamp boat and I want to install a remote British Seagull on the back (I have a 1972 Forty- Featherweight). The hull is so narrow (it's a true Pirogue) that turning around...

    Real Barn Find 10014 in fine condition

    I have been away for a bit, mostly building wooden skiffs...but I had to check in and show you that under the heaps of junk out there, there are some jewels still remaining. I answered an ad on my local CL and without a lot of hope, I met an older gent that had this motor in the back of his...

    Very specific problem with a 1975 Johnson 40hp...need creative solutions

    This outboard is on a 1974 16' Starcraft Supersport that I just inherited. It was having problems shifting smoothly (or at all) from the remote shifter, and I removed the powerhead on a hunch that the rubbers were gone that connect the lower pan to the exhaust tube. I was correct. The rubber...

    115 Yamaha 4-stroke relay is buzzing

    Was getting ready to go out tomorrow early, and wanted to do a last minute outboard warm-up and BAM no power to anything at the motor, the dash is full power. The power trim is dead, will not turn over and the only sign of life is a buzzzzz coming out of a relay part# SM2210 or 9K16 (both...

    Tanaka Aquabug 1.75 no spark

    just picked this guy up for a whopping 20 bucks. I have a 1.2 that needs a new gas tank, so I thought I would rob this 1.75 and be happy. BUT the 1.75 looks like a very low hours outboard, lots of compression, super clean... but no fire at all. Got to the coil, it looks brand new, took...

    6hp Mystery Motor

    You gotta love those Duck Hunters!! Just got an UGLY 6hp long shaft that (naturally) was rattle-can painted camo, and the transom tag said it is a 6902M. My research says I have a 1969 Evinrude 6hp, however,when I started to clean the thing up, I noticed that: 1. Everything under the cowl is...

    1978 Johnson 4hp CD Mag Motor decals in French??

    Happy New Year! I was on the recieving end of someone's resolution to clean out the garage, and he had a 4hp laying on the ground. I was really not interested in the motor, but the decals really surprized me as they are in French. Too much temptation, bought it for three twenties, and...
