Bizarre problem, when I turn my key off it won’t turn off just runs a lil rough. Will only turn off when I take the cowl off lol. Guess I could have a worse problem haha. I read it could be a ground issue with the motor not turning off but what would that have to do with the cowl?
ps I put a...
Hey guys I need to replace a leaking ball valve for my live well and potentially the thru Hull fitting. After doing my research I’m quite confused since thru Hull fittings are nps (straight thread) and valves and caps that I’m finding are npt (tapered). I’m trying to do this in one weekend so I...
Plastic part of console is old and brittle, can’t find replacements. Was wondering if it is possible to glass over it, nothing crazy just like one layer then a layer of gel coat. Unless there are any other recommendations, or any idea on where to buy replacements. Main reason I was thinking of...
Last year I put a new stator and rectifier on my 97 Evinrude 150, and today I took it out for a spin and tac was bouncing and voltometer was either at 12 or almost 16. How is it possible rectifier is bad already. Battery connections are tight and clean, new water pump so it should be getting...
Took spark plugs out from last season and top cylinder looked BRAND NEW. Did research n read water may be coming in. I took head off, but was dumb and didn't do compression test prior and these were results, head of top cylinder was very clean but top of piston had good amount of carbon. Now...
Previous owner of my 97 150 bypassed vro system but I have an extra tank laying around in thinking of connecting it again. With that said what are the chances of oil pump still works? Does diaphragm dry out?
I put a cdi rectifier in my 97 150 evinrude last year. Now this preseason it's not charging and no tachometer. To me that doesn't sound possible. Has anyone heard of that happening so quickly?
Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I just picked up a 97 150 it has a horn on it but system check 8 pin plug isn't connected to anything. I know the brown wire from horn goes to that 8pin plug. So basically my question is will the horn not sound if I don't have any system check component...
Hey guys, like the title says, is it worth it? The motor runs great but crankcase seal is leaking. I did a temporary fix with jb weld last season lol and it surprisingly held up. But I don't want any surprises this year. So I was contemplating looking for newer fuel injection 2 stroke and spend...
Hey guys 1990 150 gt here. Runs great, except for the fact that once in a while I will get steady alarm followed by alarm every other second. I've noticed that this only happens when I'm out on choppy water. I know the steady alarm is fuel restrictions or over heat. And beeping may be vro...
hey guys i have a 1990 johnson 150 35 amp. changed the rectifier last year and now this year ive noticed im getting 16 volts which is way too high. it was a CDI rectifier, could it really have gone bad that quick??
Hey guys trying to start the boat for the season and it won't start. I just replaced all 6 coil packs just because they looked completely shot. So it wasn't starting and then I pulled plug out to test for spark and it started right up with the plug out. Put it back in and it won't start. What...
Hey guys I know when out of wAter I manually release that screw. But can I do the same in the water?? I'm on the boat now with tools and stuck and need to get it down. Any suggestion?
