    Now what

    This is good info. So when a motor is submerged, you're supposed to : Run it right away as soon as possible. If you can't get it running, put it back underwater and get someone who can get it running as soon as possbile. Thanks

    Driveshaft not seating into the gear box. Please help.

    Pull the rope. When you spin the prop , nothing happens because it's not connected to anything.

    Link & Sync 1990 15Hp Evinrude

    Just picked up a 1995 15 HP Evinrude Estart over the weekend as well . Nothing is missing except a start button, and the pin on the transom clamp to adjust the trim. The 1993 15 HP Johnson I picked up last week was also missing the outer part of the roller.

    Link & Sync 1990 15Hp Evinrude

    I recently purchased one for $20. It's so inexpensive that I wouldn't jerry rig it. Make sure you install it with the solid side of the cam roller pointing down. The top should look hollow, otherwise it won't sit flush with the pin.

    Converted 15 Hp 1990 Evinrude

    I've owned a few 15 conversions. And a few factory 15's. In theory they should be the same. But in my experience the factory 15's always outperformed the 15 conversions. Generally the difference is so little you could put a 15 sticker on a 9.9 and the average person wouldn't know the difference.

    1968 Evinrude 9.5 over heating

    One instance was an aftermarket impeller that wouldn't pump enough water. On another instance, the OEM pump simply had bent (warped) fins that didn't reach the pump housing. It appeared to work fine from the outside before I took it apart and would still pump some water , but not just not...

    1968 Evinrude 9.5 over heating

    I had a similar issue where the impeller would pump water but not enough. Installing a new one solved it.

    89' rude 20 or 72 rude 25 which is better?

    I have gotten rid of all my older motors from the 70's and 80's and replaced them with motors from the 90's and 2000's. I would start looking for a newer 35 and get rid of them both !

    1993 15HP compression test resulted in 136 psi & 138 psi

    The additional wave speed is cheating a bit. Sort of like when women wear push up bras. Their titties aren't that big, or perky.

    That's a good idea. It ain't broke. I did change the impeller, thermostat, and plugs and gear oil.

    1993 15HP compression test resulted in 136 psi & 138 psi

    An answer from someone who can read I typically get 120-ish as well If possible, I'll run it WOT on water then test it on land

    Outboard will only start when given 10%-30% throttle. Will not start when given full throttle or half throttle.

    The motor does what it's supposed to do and behaves. A woman can too if she doesn't leave the kitchen.

    1993 - 2001 9.9 / 15 Maximum Spark Advance

    The service manual states: "No maximum spark advance adjustment is necessary. Correct primary lead position is all that is required to maintain proper ignition timing. Orange/blue lead must go to the top ignition coil." Is it correct to assume these models do not need timing adjustments.
