    Replace points with cd 1976 Evinrude 35

    No , ive seen this video and that’s not what mine sounds like. The top seal on my engine is good. I’ve checked it a couple of ways. I will keep trying to adjust the low speed screw and see if I can dial it in. I really appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it

    Replace points with cd 1976 Evinrude 35

    Crowley Marine lists two driver coils, one fore rope start and one for electric. When starting it will backfire through the exhaust and if it starts will miss quite a bit both at idle and at higher speed. When it gets warmed up, it will start right away without backfire but will still run...

    Replace points with cd 1976 Evinrude 35

    I have tested it. It apparently is the driver coil for a pull start, not the electric start . It measured 1.8 ohms not the 2.7 +/-.7 ohms. The ignition coils test out to spec and all the wiring has been tested for continuity and the grounds are all good as well. But a very weak spark with a...

    Well thanks, I guess I’ll just try a new driver coil to see if that will produce a decent spark. Thank you for your input, you guys help a lot and it’s appreciated

    Light to medium carbon. And a good idea to pull the exhaust side covers. I’ll do that today. This is my second ever outboard. The first one was a used 30 hp Evinrude. My wife and I built a fifty foot steel cutter rigged sailing vessel and sailed it 32,000 miles. The 30 hp was the dinghy motor...

    Intermittent water

    Thanks so much for the replies. This motor is new to me. I put it on a self made 15’ lobster style Alaska yellow cedar boat. When I bought the boat the impeller was toast so I replaced the whole pump (with a kit). I tested the boat and motor in a fresh water lake and got it all operating pretty...

    Thermostat is toast so I’ll replace it but should that keep the water from pumping?

    Intermittent water

    I retimed the engine then used the barrel to test the operation. No water from telltale after about one minute so turned it off. Pulled the lower unit and checked the pump and impeller. Both seemed like new since it was operated only a few hours since the pump was new. Boat has been sitting for...

    Intermittent water

    Water pump intermittently pumping water. Impeller and pump seems ok. Usually get steam but no water from pee tube. Then sometimes it starts pumping normal. This has been always in a barrel filled past the water intake. The last time out 4 months ago the water pump was working normally. Any help...

    1976 Evinrude 35, no spark/intermittent spark/weak spark.

    Things I’ve tried. New points, new condensers, new driver coil, new ignition coils, good used armature plate (bushing worn out on the old one), new plugs. Good continuity on wires from driver coil to ignition coils. same problem after all those things . Don’t quite know what to try next. New to...
