with motor now running and peeing, make sure you are NOT getting water from the 2 holes at the back of mid section while idling, if you do then a new thermostat is needed..... these only open once warmed up and running fast, if they let water out at idle the motor is not getting cooled correctly...
head gasket gone bad. leaking between cylinders, can see that easy enough.... bring cylinders to top and clean off the carbon, then lower a touch wipe cylinder walls then low more and wipe again. put rag in the cyl with piston down and with some 400 grit clean up the top 1/2 inch of cylinders to...
take plugs out and spray inside the plug holes with some 2 stroke oil and petrol mix. try and use a straw type thing to get up and around the bores... pull the kill chord and spin it over for 10 seconds ...... take off the vro if fitted and get a normal old style pump.... remove carb bowls and...
its normal. it will take about 50 years being strappeddown and tide coming in and out before that rusts away.. best thing if you do not want to seethat is jet wash it, then give it a coat of primer then paint it....... and DO NOT WORRY about it.. I understand you do nt like to see it, but just...
old topic I know, but needs to be cleared up....most advice above is pure nonsense..... you could cut 120 thou off and it still will not hit the pistons, its impossible.. the head on these motors is flat and the pistons DO NOT go over the top of the block deck.. 15 thou is not worth talking...
VRO was never a good idea. this was even admitted by OMC themselves in a round about way by making engines at the same time without the vro,
it was the cause of thousands of engine failures due to lack of lubrication to the crankshaft journals, big ends small ends and often the rings and...

We are working on a friends 1977 Johnson 140hp model no 140ML77S.
trying to get it all back up to a good running order and things are going fine so far.
Now we have found a couple of wires that we just...
do commercial outboards have different timing settings to normal recreational engines ?
is this a way to de-tune outboard motors ?
say on a 60hp 3 cylinder rude for example.
my setting are 17 degree btdc for max advance timing.
Would the same engine in commercial spec have the same timing or...
1995 Evinrude 60hp
Model no BE60TLEOC
Hi guys
I looked at the "joe reeves " way of checking the max advance/wide open throttle timing procedure.
first thing he mentions is to disengage the quick start if you have this on your engine.
well yes mine has this feature.
but how do I disengage the...
