The carry handle is broke and I've ordered a new one. I won't get to it until late spring as the outboard is up at the cabin where I don't have an many tools as I have here.
Anyway, is there any special procedure to follow to get the old one off and the new one in without screwing it up? I've...
Hi guys. It?s been a while since I needed help from this forum but now I do so here goes.
1982 Johnson 115hp. I replaced the powerhead 8 years and it has run great up to last year. On some occasions, and only when the engine is warned up, I will motor some where and stop for say 5-10...
I have ordered a complete water pump kit for my '76 15hp Evenrude. I have the manual but it's upnorth. and need to know what else I need to bring along.<br /><br />Besides the obvious wneched and such, what else do I need to do the job. Like gasket sealers, lockite.?<br /><br />Do you have to...
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on an odd problem I'm having and why it has happened.<br /><br />The other day I went to start my 1976 15Hp Rude and the rope didn't retract after several pulls I took off the cowl and saw that the end of the recoil spring had gone into the can. I removed...
Is everyone going to give up on there Genesis's as MinKotka did, and take there trade down offer?<br />I sure hate to give up the Stow/Depoy feature.<br /><br />Just looking for opinions.<br /><br />StillFishin'
I don't think I have one in my built in al. tank. I thouht I've read that they cause more problems than what they cure. So do we need one?<br /><br />StillFishin'
MY 82 115 runs fine almost all the way to WOT, reaching ~5200rpm at about 7/8+ of the trottle handle pushed down. When pushing the trottle handle down the finall bit and get to WOT, the engine faulters alittle and drops about 100 rpm. I have been afriad to leave it a WOT for long in case it...
My 115 omc is 21 years old and I'm thinking about replacing the plug wires. Can I just go to an auto parts store and get bulk wire? If so what would you recommend?<br /><br />thanks<br />StillFishin'
I have done a search on checking compression and it seems that the preferred way is to:<br /> 1. Disconnect plug wires.<br /> 2. Take out all plugs.<br /> 3. Hook the plug wires up to a spark tester.<br /> 4. Check compression one hole at a time with a screw in type tester.<br /> 5. All...
I have a slight hesitation at WOT otherwise my '82 OMC 115 runs fine. Just put on a new powerhead this year and cleaned carbs but the old powerhead did the same thing last year.<br /><br />Since my plug wires are 20 years old I was wondering if that could be the problem? Also, can I go to an...
My spark plug wires are as old as my engine- 20years. I have noticed a little stubmbling at WOT and I'm wondering it it could be the wires. Alos can I just get auto wires as replacements.<br /><br />thanks guys.<br /><br />StillFishin'
I had to crack open my control box to tighten the high speed idle lever and while in there noticed that the shift lockout lever(~1/2 X 2 1/4) was in bad shape. I ordered a new one and the new one had a longer bottom flange. It was too long and after gringing it down everything works OK except...
My primer bulb has the output end lower than the input end. After the boat sits for a week, I always pump the bulb and have noticed it doesn't want to get hard but the engine usually starts. I'm thinking that the reason is the postion of the bulb. <br /><br />Is it better to have the output...
'82 OMC fast idle lever has lots of play in it when I raise it up from the down postion. I have to raise the lever over half way up before I start to feel any resistance in the lever. The butterflies do open but not until the lever is all the way up. I didn't think it was that way when new...
