    tach connectors/kill switch wire color

    Howdy, just got back from the lake last Saturday after spending the summer fixing up a 1983 evinrude v4 90 hp I bought off ebay for $400. I did have to overbore one cylinder, re-ring the one under it (starboard bank) and knocked the glaze off the other two but everything else works great...

    teleflex cable

    got my "new" 1983 v4 90 hp almost lake ready. just lack control cable and timing. two questions about the control cables: 1. what exactly is the model or type of cable? 2. are the ebay cables that are new in box from 1979 worth trying or are they not a good idea? Thanks in advance.

    Piston replacement in 1983 90hp

    Bought this motor off ebay for $400. Traveled less than 190 miles round trip to pick up. Two problems though. Rectifier is literally blown and need to replace one piston. I borrowed motor lift to get the motor out of the bed of my truck and mounted on my boat (replaced a Chrysler 75hp)...

    to clean or not too clean?

    Howdy! I’ve asked several questions here ‘bout my “new” 1983 90 hp evinrude. Got another one (or two, or….). I bought this motor with the understanding that it was running when the mechanic took it off because the transom was rotted. Wound up sitting outside for two years with the cover on...

    Power Pack on E90TLCTE

    Howdy! Just picked up my “new” 1983 E90TLCTE. The first boat I ever bought had a 1972 evinrude 115 hp motor. I got to the lake one time with the 115 and crank, crank, etc. took it to a mechanic and he said power pack was bad. He said that hooking up the charger to the battery probably blew...

    Howdy,<br /><br />I have a 1982 chrysler 75 hp model 758h2d serial # 1302. motor cranks right and runs in hot or cold weather, but the colder the lake water the longer it takes for all 3 cylinders to run.
