    Carbs from 1989 60 on a 1995 50?

    Looking to get more power out of my 1995 3cyl 50 hp. Will a set from a 1989 60hp fit if I use the linkages off of the 50? They look quite different than the type with the black plastic top caps that the 50 has which didn’t appear to be available until 1994 on the 60’s? That style appeared to be...

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    This was exactly my thoughts before I rebuilt them. They were spotless inside so the PO did them. I did them again. Idle screws exactly 2-3/4 turns out on all 3

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    I put on a used wire from a parts motor and it was marginally better but just. I’ve ordered new ones. Dealer said obsolete so bringing in Seirra replacements. Why obsolete already?? Gotta be 10 million of these OMC triples still in use out there. Sheesh. I hope the new wires are the answer…

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Strange thought. The fly wheel I picked up to replace the one this motor came with was from a 1993 60 hp. They look identical, But I wonder if there is magnet differences. I will find out tomorrow when I’m back on the water.

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Pulled the fly wheel. No cracked magnets. Stater coil looks good one spot looks like the paint was rubbed off. I think I’ll throw the old fly wheel on with the chipped teeth and try it. I have no idea or means to test the stater coil. I did find some crummy looking plug wires. One that had no...

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Thank you. No clunking. Just Chuggy And good to know that that is the only performance I’ll get out of a 50. It doesn’t surprise me though. My waterlogged 16 foot aluminum super sport would go about the same speed with a 65

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    New to me motor - first time setting up Should be no water in the tank unless the fuel I got had it in it from contamination in their storage tank. Prop is slightly worn, but ever so lightly, I will put on another to try.

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Thanks! Compression is 105-110 I think or 110-115 (it has sat a few years since I did it so I’m a bit foggy. It is in that range, all cyls close. I did link and sink by manual. Checked timing mark on flywheel with piston stop. It’s bang on. I think cam roller is good. Black plastic sleeve on it...

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Thanks I will. Too late tonight. I’m up at 4:30 for work. If I have a bad spark, what might be the most logical culprit to check be? Do coil packs go bad? Stator? Plug wires? Other? Plugs are new. Could it be something in the advance? Full out I got 30mph in a 15.5’ fiberglass deep vee. Kind...

    50 hp OMC triple vibration at lower rpm

    Hey guys, having some troubles with a 50 hp three cylinder OMC. 1995. I rebuilt the curbs hoping it was a fuel delivery issue. New fuel filter. Was running out of sunlight tonight so I took it out for a quick spin. I didn’t get a chance to spark test. Extremely busy these days And it was a...

    OMC specialty products for carb rebuilds?

    Hey guys I am rebuilding a set of 1995 Evinrude 50 hp carburetors. Just a few questions. With OMC being gone by way of the Dodo, does anybody know equivalent for specific OMC specialty products? It is important that these are easy to find over the counter solutions. I need to transport this...

    Towing 18 foot StarCraft.

    I am with the others. Not sure what your Ranger can tell but it’s gotta be at least 3500 pounds? In that case you have tons of reserve. Or tons left for cargo I figure that my 16 footer with a 70 horse OMC, 2-3 tanks and kicker on the back, 3 batteries and a front troller are not even tripping...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    The pics I posted are the ones he took in his driveway actually. If you are thinking of getting some done you can come look at mine as an example. Boat will be at my home until tune up is done, maybe a week or two. He’s a good guy I’m sure he won’t mind you stopping to see one he’s working on...

    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    Ok so not SS160 project related (that is now mothballed again until this winter, or after I get the stacked and stalled honey-do list done) but I just got covers made for my “beater boat” and I am thrilled. My guy did them quickly and at a reasonable price. Next week I’m going to rebuild the...

    Grew Sportster?

    Hey guys, trying to find info on a boat that I was told was made by Grew but I can’t find any info on it. It’s a 2002 15 or 15.5’ (assuming measurement is taken in a straight line from bow to transom). No tags or labels just a vin # Did they ever make a “Sportster” model? Thanks

    50 hp evinrude triple low speed issues and short top end

    Thanks. Service Unknown. I bought it used 2 years ago from a backyard marine mech. Hood is beat up & faded and covered in heavy shop dust. My guess is it was not well loved. I have not touched carbs yet. Rebuild kits ordered. Primer valve inline with primer body. Pointing to other end of primer

    50 hp evinrude triple low speed issues and short top end

    Great thanks Jimmbo. Appreciate the crank wire idea. I thought it would be more elaborate than that, so no complaints here! I’m definitely going to clean/rebuild carbs and I’ve done the link & sync before. I’ll blow out or replace smaller fuel lines. (Probably the latter) I’ll check the...
