    1983 25 HP Johnson hand wind starter scraping flywheel.

    Stalling at Idle and Idle Speed

    Had a 20 ft Boston Whaler Revenge once....former owner let it sit for about 3 or 4 years and wasn't a guy that did much maintenance anyways. Took it out and for several trips it ran fine. Next trip not so much. Mess with the engine for a while than decided to hand pump out about 30 gallons of...

    Stalling at Idle and Idle Speed

    Here's your two choices and I've done both. Figure out the tank dimensions, carefully cut it out, change the tank, re-install the cut piece of deck after sealing all of the edges and have a stainless steel beauty ring made and glue (marine 5200) and screw it down (stainless screws). If not...

    1990 Johnson 15hp only start with carb disengaged

    No. In a barrel that's what they look like. What it wants is to be taken out on a boat.

    1977 Evinrude 25hp

    Hard to follow... but if the area your talking about is where I think it is, it seems one of two things. 1st guess, your not completing the last step of the L&S or your timer plate under the flywheel is all gooped up or has blockage. Is it any of those?

    1977 Evinrude 25hp

    I'm not sure of some of your terms...."cam" are you talking about the roller on the carb linkage? Like Racer says, in neutral it won't allow it. Whenever you mess with it you have to do a link and sync and there is lots of info online on how to do that.

    I know this sounds laborious but I would change out the tank.

    I Know What Happened But Why?

    The black goo typically is your coils failing. Motor look like this?

    I Know What Happened But Why?

    Model number? Year? Horsepower? Maybe it's a lawnmower....describe more please.

    Hurricane helene dropped a tree on my boat

    In my area a used 1997 9.9 is worth anywhere from $1000 to $1200 with electric start. All areas will be different though.

    Impeller housing too snug? Making prop and shaft very hard to turn.

    Are you in neutral?

    Again, post model number, there is over 50 models of the 25 in the Evinrude/Johnson 96 line

    While in neutral, yes. I would recheck your connection, keeper in, keeper nuts are properly set. If they check out, once again, did the shaft that was in your gearcase when you pulled it for the impeller replacement, get turned or removed? If so, that's your problem.

    Send us a picture of the area where you put the shift shaft back together. Did you loose the small plastic keeper?

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Probably more ways to test the vro, but one way is to run with a portable fuel tank at a measured amount with 50 to 1 in it just to make sure it doesn't burn up the motor and then do a measured amount of two stroke oil going into the vro. You then high idle it and do the calculations to see if...

    Evinrude Model J6RCRM Prop Shaft does not touch F/N/D shift selector

    Not sure what you did, but there is normally no reason to pull the shift shaft for most of the seals. When I remove by accident, I loosen the two screws holding the carrier together and pull it out a 1/4 inch or so then push the shift shaft in. Once I know its in where it needs to be, I tighten...

    Not sure you can install it wrong really. Did you turn the shift shaft stub that comes out of the gearcase maybe? Is this tiller or a remote motor?

    Engine Won't Run When Warm

    Agreed, less worrying and more diagnostics. Just compression as it lays will give you a general idea. Stop running this motor and determine if this is a lean running issue like I believe you already know.
