Well I solved the problem. I had another lower unit stashed behind my restored outboards that I had forgotten about off of a 217.58531 Ted Williams. i installed it and found that the drive shaft was binding when I went to tighten up the bolts. The flywheel would not turn unless I loosened the 2...
The foot is engaging as expected. If I turn the driveshaft it turns the prop and if I turn the prop it turns the shaft. I have put resistance on both by locking some vise grips on shaft and turning back and forth.
I have a 1971 Eska/Sears model 217-58820 that I am trying to restore. It was a trade in I got while working on a friends motor. It seems that the wrong sized lower unit driveshaft was installed. I removed the lower unit after there was no movement when the shift lever was engaged and the...
Have a 2006 Yamaha T50TLR 4 stroke with EFI that will run for up to 40 minutes and then stall out and not start. If you let the engine sit for a while it will start back up after it cools down. We have replaced the low pressure fuel pump and replaced the fuel lines but still have the same...
I converted my 91 15hp Force/Gamefisher from the BIM coil set up to a points and condenser set up off of a 1980's 9.9hp Chrysler. I get good spark and the engine fires but it will not run. Is there an issue in using the existing flywheel used for the BIM coils with the points and condenser...
Can you tell me the adjustment specs for the low speed idle mixture screw on a 2000 50hp Johnson model J50TLssm. Any other information on this carb would be appreciated.
just bought a 2008 50hp 50ELPTO serial no 852067t98 with a bad cylinder. I am looking for a used replacement powerhead and would like to know what years I can use. I understand the 1998 to 2007 40/50/60 model are interchangeable. What year power heads can I use on this motor?
I have a 75 7.5 hp Serial #4555695 with a no spark condition. I have completed the troubleshooting test off of the mercury manual and everything seems to point to the switch box. When I disconnected the orange stop wire still no spark. The coils test out at 1700 resistance which is to spec. The...
I'm working on a 15hp Force/GameFisher model 225.581501 motor. The owner rewired it due to some mouse issues. It has an electronic ignition with no points. The coils both check out good with an ohmmeter. There is spark to the top plug wire only. The only diagram I have shows only one coil and...
just rebuilt an Ns40c Nissan with a short block from another engine. The engine will start but wants to run off when the throttle is open. I try to pull back on the throttle and it dies out. I think the throttle linkage might be off. Does anyone have the process for syncing the carb with...
Trying to find an impeller part number for a 49 4hp Scott Atwater Serial# 491-500339. It is a single impeller(not bail-o-matic) and is the same as a Firestone for the same year. Is there a similar impeller that can be converted?? The inside Diameter is 1/2 and the vanes are another 5/8in on...
Been working on a friends 99 40hp 4 stroke motor. It was in a no start condition when I started working on it. It had not been run much for the past few years and had some old gas. I replaced fuel tank with new gas and quickleen, primer pump, fuel lines from the motor to the tank, fuel filter...
:confused:No spark condition. I have done the stator and coil test specified in the Merc 40-75-110 thunderbolt ignition diagram for my 1971 4hp mercury serial # 3030486. I only have a radio shack tester and these are my findings.I disconnected the green stator lead and connected the plus tester...
I have a 1953 12 hp Sea King model 35GG-9018A serial number 453348. I am in the process of replacing the impeller. Do I have to remove the exhaust housing from the powerhead to do this? I have a Johnson/Evinrude manual that is suppose to be similar but it doesn't look the same. The Sea King...
