I have these two motors. I was wondering what they might be worth. The 140 has a warped head. I removed it to get it smoothed and never did. It is a complete motor and the gear case seems to be in good shape. The 135 is missing the gear case and carbs. I believe it had good compression when I...
I just purchased a 2005 175 hp optimax. the water filter going to the compressor was clogged and the over heat alarm wire was separate from the engine over heat alarm wire. I got a used compressor and the engine cranks and runs fine and fuel pressure is 10 more than my air pressure like it...
I have good sparks and compression. I just got this motor. It ran great for 5 mins up the river. then when I idled it started acting funny, When I tried to throttle up it slowly bogged out and after about 30 secs it shut off and would not restart. How do I test the compressor air and the fuel...
I have a 2003 19' seapro bay boat. It came with a yamaha 115 4 stroke, which I sold because it needed work. I had a 2.5 150 1996 merc on it for years now. It ran great but I tried to sell the boat to go larger and no one wanted it with the older 2 stroke on it. I may end up waiting a while to...
I have a 1990 johnson 150 XP. it gets good fire with the spark plugs removed. when i install the spark plugs i get no fire on any cylinder. The battery test fine, all connections are tight clean. the engine seems to be turning over as fast or faster than any other motor I have worked on. It is...
I have a 198? something V-4 gearcase. it is in great shape except the crank splines are messed up. I have a 20" and a 25" 198? something V-6 gearcases. They both have busted housings. will the dive shafts from these work? If so what about the shift shaft? They are different part numbers, but...
I do not know the history of this motor but it came to me with one head off. the pistons were stamped 030. head looked fine and cylinder walls looked ok. new head gasket and I got 100 PSI on 3 and the top starboard had 75. I got a feeling that this motor was rebuilt by some jackleg. but not...
I picked this motor up yesterday, it came with a small pile of OMC motors. It does not look too bad and has about 140psi on all 4, and is sparking. Any maintenance tips or things to do to it? also I think that the carb cover says that the timing is 35 BTDC, is that right, I never heard of it...
A local guy has an 07 225 etec for sale. low hours. claims he just had the powerhead rebuilt. and now the gearcase has gone out. what all should I test/check besides compression?
Hey guys I just got a deal on a 1977 Evinrude 140, 140783S .(It is missing the head covers and the exhaust housing if anyone has them I am in need). Anyway it is not a electric tilt and trim motor, I also had a 1982 140HP evinrude that is on a tilt and trim midsection.

I got a 1983 35HP Evinrude E35ECTS. I got the bearing carrier out and the snap ring and the big washer, but to my surprise the shifter thingy is blocking me from being able to pull the prop shaft and forward gear out. there is a little pin on the bottom of the shifter thingy that is going around...
