Bought this engine compression came out even. Having high hopes for the motor. Mounted it and going to do a service tomorrow. Can some one please help with this part image attached and circled. It won’t stay in the fitting and slips out.
Recently did a 100hr service. Changed the water pump which was in good condition, changed the thermostats which had saltwater residue on them, changed oil and gas/water filters. The trim is starting to go bad as I can hear it struggling. My trim gauge seems to be acting up as well. The needle...

Just purchased a 1993 88hp Evinrude seems to be running fine. Have taken it out twice with no issues. After having it on for 10 mins or so the cylinder heads seem to get very hot to the point that I can't touch them without burning my fingers. The water coming out of the tail seems to be warm...
Now I totally understand this. Before not so much. So by adjusting the coupling I will be setting the neutral position on the motor? And one last question the motor was overheating due to a bag covering the flow of water. When I took it off it seemed fine but started to smoke up before getting...

Just got a 1979 45hp Chrysler outboard. Changed out the water pump, oil and put in a new carburetor. Turns right on and idles smoothly but I feel like it uses too much gas. Was thinking of switching out the fuel pump but wanted to see what all you think. The first trip I took it out yesterday...
Re: Johnson 1960 or 1962 55hp outboard making weird noises when Throttle is pushed do
That is what it looks like inside the thermostat. The guy working on the boat is switching out the thermostat, but I have a feeling there's a bigger problem than just that :facepalm: How do I check for spark...
Just bought a 1960 Glasstron with a 1962 Johnson 55hp outboard. I had the oil changed and water pump kit replaced. Boat was working fine for the first couple outings. Went out fishing in the kelps yesterday. Chopped up some kelp with the propeller and I think I over worked the motor. On the way...
