1970 33hp Evinrude - when I pull the rope there is no resistance and the flywheel is not engaged. After taking the starter assembly off and pulling on the rope, I can see that the three parts that engage the flywheel do not rotate out to engage it. In fact those three parts move pretty...
I just bought a trailer and while adjusting the bunks for my aluminum 1982 16' MirroCraft, I saw something on the bottom of the boat that I have never noticed before. There may even be another one of these things on the other side as well. It looks like the weight of the boat will eventually...
I'm trying to take the LU from my 1965 Fastwin 18hp motor over to my 1963 18hp Fastwin because it has the long shaft that I need. First of all, it looks like this will swap over ok. True?
Problem is I am having trouble getting the copper tube loose from the upper grommet. I've tried wiggling etc...
1965 Evinrude 18HP that I just bought wasn't getting spark. So I pulled the fly wheel, filed the points shiney, checked the coils (oK) and reassembled. Now it gets spark so that problem is fixed. It was probably the rusty boot connection at the plug end. The problem I am working on now is that...
I have a 1963 10hp Evinrude that won't throttle up when in either forward or reverse position because the throttle lockout is not disengaging. With the motor not running, I can manually pull out the lockout part to allow the throttle to advance to maximum in reverse and forward, but it won't...
I have several outboard motors that I run in a tank. The older ones that require 24:1 gas/oil mixture really make quite a mess. Does anyone have a decent way to dispose of this water/oil?
the previous owner of my trailer had replaced the hubs and bearings. i will skip the long story about nearly killing a bunch of people because the wheels almost spun off the axle after only about 100 miles!!!
i think i have finally figured out why after following the conventional way of...
1970 33hp Evinrude
I have done all the tune up work to bring this motor back to life. Now I discover that my motor stand is not nearly heavy duty enough to hold the motor in place. The main problem is that it raises up off the floor when I pull on the rope. Has anyone ever run into this...
Re: Disassemble carb 33hp Evinrude
Sorry for any confusion. I removed the low speed needle valve, packing and bushing.
The needle that is stuck is the high speed needle which I assumed had a bushing like the other one. But now I can see in the drawing I have that it doesn't have a bushing --...
I am working on the carb on my 1970 33hp Evinrude. Problem is the low speed needle valve will not come out. I have put the knob back on and screwed it down but when I turn it, the knob spins but does not turn the needle valve. Trying wd-40 and even some old liquid wrench i'm sure my dad bought...
I am resurrecting a 1970 33hp Evinrude. I found that after removing the lower unit, it was very hard to move the shift rod. It would only go up and engage the prop (or was it down?) and then back into neutral. But it would not go into the other gear. So I removed the lower housing to take a peek...
quick question on painting outboard: instructions on can says paint needs to be between 70 and 90 degrees F. Does outboard need to be in that range also, or does it matter?
This is the extension piece for a 1970 33hp Evinrude. I was lucky that the broken off bolt head did not prevent me from taking off the extension. Now that I have it accessible for further surgery to remove the remaining piece of the bolt, I am concerned that if I just grab a hold of it with my...
Does anyone make your own small gaskets by buying gasket material in sheets and using an exacto knife to cut out the required shape based on a tracing of the old gasket?
