    e-tec 40hp oil use

    ETEC oil consumption is fairly low specially if you run on XD-100 setting if your engine heats up due to low oiling it will tell you very quickly and go into SAFE more with max rpm around 1200. my 75hp ETEC with about 400 hrs after 20 years as yet to consume my 2nd gal. of XD-100 oil...

    2001 Evinrude 150hp FICHT reverse isdue

    the oil unless corrupted and creamy isn't the problem. the oil may simply carry metal chips.... confirming gear damage if any. tried rotating the shift rod cw or ccw one turn to see if anything happens ?

    2001 Evinrude 150hp FICHT reverse isdue

    the shift rod is adjusted to specs by rotating the shaft to shorten it or lengthen it . IF you did not touch the shift rod recently it may be best o check the gear oil for metal chips indicating damage on the gear. at best you could try disconnecting the shift and turning it IN or OUT ...to...

    OMC p/n 0335626 (nipple, fuel & oil) purpose?

    you could probably take 2 short pieces of clear rigid plastic of tubing and mushroom the ends a bit to fit the hose section. Secure with tape or.. spend 30$

    Golden Jubilee Evi Sportwin 10 - Should I convert?

    where would you put nylon inserts ??? just mount the plate over the bypass cover using tad longer bolts as you see fit. the pump is reverse bolted with bolt head between the bypass cover and the plate with the threads sticking out the 2 mounting hole locations. If one bolt head...

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    OK I guess the main thing now is to restore sparks from the coil. the CDI may have blown due to the high voltage spikes going nowhere to ground as it should via plugs so further testing should be done with a means of ensuring the HV coil outputs will or can reach ground all the time...

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    if you carefully keep any single test wire from the engine frame there would be no " leakage" to ground through open air space. The path of least resistance ( being 0 ohms) is the metallic conductor inside the plug wire . btw what plug type have you installed. ?

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    up to you but such high voltages should jump much like water flows .... so if the coil's HV voltage can't make it the the spark gap it is being insulated from reaching the ground potential it needs to return to base . coil output is OK ....hook up a piece of plug wire to the coil or near...

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    backtrack a bit... is this a new to you motor or when did all this problem show up. 10-15-20 KV should not any problems jumping all the way to the plugs. anything special happened to cause it ? Unless I missed it... you did not indicate if the sparks will jump at the boots alone. you...
