    Tillitson Carburetor - 1980 Chrysler 6 hsp.

    Picked up a 6 Chrysler that was used twice and has been sitting for years; it looks new. Replaced the impeller (really bad from sitting), one coil (with an OMC), and condensers. 'Cleaned' the carb. which was spotless. It runs beautifully at high speed and I 'fine' tuned the idle. It runs...

    15 Johnson (1974) overheating

    Before I pull the power head I hope someone will know of an easier solution. The motor overheats. I've been testing it in a barrel. I replaced the pump and impeller. I also removed the head thinking maybe the thermostat was sticking; it had no thermostat. I installed a new thermostat and...

    Firestone 7.5 ignition mystery

    Just picked up an early 50's 7.5 Firestone. It had no ignition. I 'dressed' the points ( and gapped them) and it started right up, ran nicely, and pumped well. However, it would not go to high rpms or idle. I found the lower cylinder was not firing even though I hooked up an in-line spark...

    Chrysler 6 coil removal

    I have a 1980 Chrysler 6 hp with a bad coil. I went to remove it and see it appears to be mounted on 'pins.' I thought maybe it was screws from the underside so I loosened up the mag plate but can't see anything. It appears they sit on pins???? What's the safe way to remove the coil without...

    6 Hsp Chrysler - Spits gas out of carburetor

    I recently picked up a 1980 Chrysler 6 that was used only a few times. It looks like new. I removed the carb and took the bowl off to see if it was clean. It was spotless inside. In running it I notice that it appears to spit gas out of the small chamber below the intake when it's running...

    I have a 59 Evinrude 18 with a bad powerhead. I also have a decent 15 Evinrude powerhead (and carb) of 55-56 vintage. Anybody know of any problems in switching the two. I plan to use the 18 mag plate and flywheel. thanks :eek:

    Chrysler 6 - no spark

    I just picked up a (79-82? Model 64H9E) 6 horse Chrysler. The motor was used twice. It looks like it just left the factory; however I have no spark. I'm not familiar with the Chrysler ignition systems. I haven't 'popped' the flywheel yet as I'm hoping for some advice before I even get...

    spark / no spark

    To break the monotony I strayed away from the OMC outboards and decided to work on a couple of other brands; Scott (55) 5;Scott (57 or 8) 7.5 and an early 50's Elgin 5. I know the ignition systems are old but they looked good and I cleaned them up. With the flywheel sitting on top I spun both...

    70's Sears Gamefisher power head removal

    I have a 70's (I believe) 15 hsp Gamefisher. I'm trying to remove both the power head and the lower unit. I can't get either off. I've stripped and unbolted just about everything I can think of yet I cant get either off. For ID this motor has a white cover with a green stripe decal. Did...

    55 Scott Atwater broken tiller handle bracket

    I have a 55 Scott Atwater 5 horse. The tiller bracket casting is broken right near where the twist grip throttle gears mesh together. I understand this is a common problem with these motors. Can it be welded or does anybody have another solution? thanks

    18 Evinrude water pumping problems

    H! I have a 62 Evinrude 18 with a weird cooling system problem. The motor runs great but the pumping is intermittent. I've replaced the impeller and I've tried two different (used) pump housings; both of which seem to be in decent shape. The tube from the pump to the motor does not leak. I...
