When the lower unit was dropped, I hooked a test hose to the water tube and test the circulation. No blockage, strong stream from tell tale at low pressure. That's why I'm so confused when it won't pee when the motor starts and idles. Oh yea, I installed a new thermostat and seal too.
Will someone please explain how to remove the cowl from a 1958 5.1/2 hp Evinrude model 5516. I know the one side swings up, then?
It's time to convert to single line and fuel pump. Thanks for your time and consideration in advance.
I have been kicking around the idea of a make over for a 1955 25hp Johnson RDE-17 It checks out a 90 top and bottom on compression. Now, that's pulling the beast because it has no starter.

I have a 1983 15hp Evinrude e15rcta. Very well maintained, sat for a number of years with the previous owner as a back up, which hardly got used. 100 on both cylinders, has good spark and we rebuilt the carb. We also installed new fuel lines, fuel connector, thermostat with seal and cover...

What are the 6 screws that attach the skeg to the lower gear case, standard or metric? The same for the 4 bolts that attach the lower gear case to the mid section, standard or metric?
I want to run a tape in to clean those screw and bolt threads like the 'ol boy on some youtube video does...
I separated the lower gear case from the mid section. I then removed the pin at the top of the drive shaft. Removed the impeller housing bolts. When I pulled up on the housing the drive shaft slipped out of the lower gear case with it.
My questions: Should the drive shaft slide out so easy? Do...
what do I set the gap on my 1984 8 hp Johnson at? I pulled the plugs to check them and dropped one right on the gap. Now one is set at 030 and the other is 035. I walked away for a week, now I forgot which one is which. What is the right one please?
