    Carb. Sync.

    Can anyone give me a straight forward way of adjusting multiple carb. setups. Most of the manuals I've refered to don't go into any detail on this. I'm afraid using the "ear" method is not what the factory had in mind. I'm afraid this leaves too much room for error. Also, can anyone give me...

    60 Hp compression readings

    I'm rebuilding a '92 60 Hp evinrude for a friend. He burn a piston out so I had that cylinder bored .020 over. All of the rings and bearings were replaced . The compression checks as follows #1(new piston)120, #2 110, and #3 110. Is this acceptable? The other two cylinders were honed and as...

    Flywheel stuck

    I know this is a pretty common problem on any brand of outboard. I have gotten such great responses on this forum, I figured this was the place to start. Does anyone have any secrets or tricks for getting stuck flywheels off? I think I have tried them all. Biggest question I have is what do...

    C75 to a C90

    I have a 1995 C75. Several years ago I was at a repair shop and an old mechanic told me that Yamaha actually offered kits to upgrade motors and increase Hp. He also said this would not void any type of warranty since their tolerances are so tight. I know that this is probably possible to do even...

    Nissan 25 Hp Needle seat

    Can anyone give me a source for the seat in the carb. This one is pressed in and as far as I can tell the dealer says you have to buy the whole carb. The mod.# is NS25B.

    Calling all OMC Gurus!

    Recently I read a post that had a method for checking WOT timing without running the engine. J.Reeves method sounds like the ticket for checking this but he informed me the motor I have('92 115Hp) has a "Quick Start" function which would not allow me to use this method. My question is two fold...

    Another Manual Question

    Any ideas on best place to order OEM manuals. I was given the name of a company,Ken Cook for the older manuals('95 and earlier). The last one I checked on was for '96 225Hp and it was around $80. Anyone know of a cheaper place? I guess you still have to get the newer ones from the dealer???

    Which Service Manuals???

    Is there any rcommendations as far as service manuals go? I know the general consensus is probably theres nothing like the OEM manual but if you had to use an aftermarket manual which one would it be? The Clymer Manuals assume too much information is already known so they skip steps and lack...

    J. Reeves Question?

    I noticed a post earlier that told of a way to set WOT timing. My question is will this work on any OMC(specifically a '92 115Hp) and do all of the wires have to be connected to a spark tester or just the #1 wire?

    1996 Johnson 225 VRO(No Oil)

    This boat has an OMC Systems Control gauge on it. The problem is the no oil light will come on, the buzzer will sound for ten seconds and then stop but the light stays on. The VRO is still pumping oil as indicated by the exhaust & the level in the reservoir. I have been told it could be the...
