    Tohatsu M50D ignition switch test

    The 1990 switch has 6 wires with 2 red ones. The test procedure only calls for testing one red one, so I did both. It only passed one out of 2 tests. I was wondering why the 2nd wire wasn't mentioned> Thanks.

    Does rpm limiter on power pack shut a cylinder down?

    The PP #585260 is on a J48ESLEDC1996 and sometimes both cylinders are firing and sometimes not. The carbs are ok so would it be safe to say it was a PP or would a stator or wiring harness have something to do with it? Pr is a DVA the only way to find out? Thanks.

    Is it possible to damage something if puller is tightened too much? I made hooks out of 3/8" eyebolts. Transmission fluid, rust buster and other stuff has been put on the bearing case and heated with a small propane torch. I should have just replaced the seals instead of heating but didn't know...

    Time 48hp at idle?

    This is a '96 model. There is nothing wrong with the carburetors yet it won't go much above idle. An '86 manual says to check the timing at about 19 degrees at full throttle in the water. At idle the chalk mark is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches off the mark if that proves anything. Can the timing be...

    I need a couple of screws that hold the bearing case in the lower unit in an Evinrude 30ELCDM motor. Evinrude wants $8 a piece for them. 1/4" bolts are too small and 5/16 x18 or 20 didn't seem to go in. Anyone know what size they are? And since seals aren't available what style seal would be...
