    Decals as racerone says 1976 and also 1977 (decals called "hockey sticks"). But in 1976 and 77 there was no 200Hp, the Black Max was 175Hp those years.

    Force 120hp Major Overheat

    Not really hard to pull the power head off from the mid leg. 12 screws to remove the mid leg cover, 6 at the back and 6 in the bottom of the cowl. Then you can remove the nuts that hold the power head to the mid leg it is 10 of them. Disconnect all wires from the harness to the power head, the...

    1964 Evinrude Starflite 70hp impeller change

    To change the impeller you need to remove the LU. Pull it from the engine and for example put it in a vice. When removing and putting it back I would suggest you to use a floor jack. I use a floor jack when pulling and put back lager LUs.

    Hydraulic cylinder rebuild

    Sorry but I do not know what pump you should buy if you have to change it. Search at Ebay for OEM pumps. If there are pumps on Ebay and they are Chines made, do not buy them! Starters for Chrysler/Force and made in China are crap, but cheap. Do not buy them, rebuild your OEM starter (Prestolite...

    Hydraulic cylinder rebuild

    #Lou C that was a nice work, well done. T&Ts are often a PIA to deal with, change o-rings and seals can be done if you get it apart. The pump with all check valves, springs and steel balls is a no no in my opinion. #Captndrydock good luck with you work.

    Force 40 issues

    The machine shop has to mill off the same amount of material at the edges until all three edges are clean and they are perpendicular. It is important that all three edges are even in size so that the dogs at the clutch and the gears are in contact when engaged.

    71/72 105hp Propeller Clearance Issue

    Did the "new" LU come without the exhaust snout and you put the one from you cracked LU on it? I know there were two different snouts and the later LU from mid 70:es hade a snout which was shorter and had a steeper shape. When I check in my parts catalogs there are different part numbers...

    Bman2895 have you pull the flywheel and check the points, cleaned them and set the gap and looked at the coils?

    New to me 18 hp Evinrude.

    Checking for good spark you need to se if it can jump 3/8 in or more in atmosphere. Checking for good spark with the spark plugs is not good enough. Then as Crosby says pull the flywheel and check. The coils at those old OMC are know as dry out over the years. If good coils then clean the points...

    1980 9.9 hp Chrysler no spark-need some advice

    tmcook this thread is 16 years old. Start a new thread about you issue. BTW The prime side of the ignition coil should read about 1-3 Ohm. Secondary side about 6-8 kOhm. No spark issue are often dirty points, clean and set them at 020 in. Also check the spring in the HT rubber boots for rust.

    My flywheel came apart at the bottom where some metal blades are stacked together any idea why?

    In my opinion you should be able to use the CDI stator with different triggers which are for Prestolite CD-modules. The trigger sends signal to the CD-modules to discharge the capacitor voltage to right ignition coil. The stator charge the capacitors in the CD-modules. The stator and the trigger...
