    My 1986 Evinrude 28 SPL lost the small Cam Follower.

    Wondered why new plugs are getting dark and oily. The engine no longer has a tiny Cam Follower. Anyone have a part number and source ? It is identical to a 30 hp engine. Thank you.

    I was over due for this to happen.

    I put a 1/2 of a can of Sea Foam into each gas tank. Engine was getting harder to start. Finally would not start. Pulled outlet Primer Bulb hose off. Squeeze the bulb. Will not build up pressure correctly. O K need a bulb. Then take the small gasoline filter apart. Looks milky. Smell it . No...

    How many of us have a GREEN Seahorse motor ?

    I am curious as to those who had varnished cork floats. That loved to cause flooded engines after about 5 to 10minutes. I spent several hours before I found that was the problem.

    Guess Who needed a tow home ?

    No spark. Should be the still original Man Overboard Switch. Friend towed me to the dock area. I rowed into the slip space. Plenty of old guys to have fun with as they helped me tie up. Wife took me out for lunch. I have finally mellowed. :)

    Ever wonder where all the hurricane and storm surge boats wind up ?

    Keep posting. We will always try to help. A quick fresh water rinsing after being flooded. Can hide wild electrical & fuel problems.

    Opening day of summer boating season.

    Should get busy posting for the 4th of July cruise. Finally getting some boat traffic. Still no Go Fast loud boats yet. No racing around Bass boats either. Very odd also. Local marinas have full yards of old and brand new boats. Loads of new open Aluminum bare hulls. I call them entry level...

    Need your opinion about replacing the original Reed Valves in my 1986 Evinrude 30 hp.

    The engine starts instantly. Hot or cold. warms up quickly. BUUTT It will blacken & oil soak plugs after 6 to 10 hours at slowest in gear trolling speed. Plugs still work to start and go to WOT for 1 to 2 minutes which cleans them to new condition. How many would just buy 6 new plugs each...

It starts cold with needing a lot of choking squirts by pushing the key switch down for a second or 2 each time every 5 or 10 seconds. The sparkplug...

    Where you buy gasoline is critical.

    In my boating lifetime I only had 2 bad loads of gas station gasoline. Then I switched to a Commercial Marine Dock. I have not had a bad tank of gasoline since switching. Costly yes. That was about 60 years ago. They only pump marine Hi Test. Gas stations and marinas have no standards. The...
