    McCulloch Shear Pin Needed

    So finally got the 14 HP out on the lake today and all it did was rev, but no thrust. Took it back home to find the shear pin has been trashed. Don't think I did it, so it must have came this way. So can I buy one of these somewhere? Anybody have a p/n or know of another brand of motor that has...

    9.9 Spewing Fuel

    I'm back to working on the Fastwin again, but expect to be doing something with this one soon. I'll have to check for the cheap fuel pumps. Are they pretty much universal? Will the same pump work on the 18 HP? So far the cheapest pumps I've found have been like 80 bucks. Seems not too cheap to me.

    Are these correct? https://www.ebay.com/itm/403007568252 https://www.ebay.com/itm/282337395147 Thanks for telling me about Leeroy. Good stuff!

    Quit on the Water!

    Are you saying coils and points should all be the same brand? Or that the guy got defective points, mixed brands maybe? Haven't ordered yet, but sure would suck if the new parts weren't any good. Doesn't look like OMC makes points anymore, so got to use something. A different brand maybe...

    Thanks boat bros. Think I'm going with OMC coils and Sierra points and condensers.

    Quit on the Water!

    Sorry, my bad. I'm working on two Evinrudes at the same time. This one is the 65 Fastwin 18 that needs coils. The 9.9 needs a fuel pump gasket I believe. I'm finding coils from $15 to $35 and seems the reviews are mixed on all of these. Even Sierra which many recommend seems to have quality...

    Quit on the Water!

    Thanks Chris that's what I was thinking. If I decide to cheap out, I'll just change the coils as it seems real likely that's the problem here. Just wish I had the parts numbers for the coils, points, and condensers, but guess I can google em up. Wasn't the end of the world having the motor crap...

    Quit on the Water!

    Well if I'm following what you guys are saying, the coils are going to check out good because the engine starts and runs fine until it gets warmed up. Problems with points or condensers don't come and go, correct? So I'm leaning towards changing coils, condensers, and points. If I can figure out...

    Quit on the Water!

    Thanks for the tip. I currently have his site up in my browser. Interesting stuff! Really had to dig to find it though as all the links to it on iboats are now broken it seems. So to be clear, coil = magneto? Regarding replacement parts, seems to be a lot of difference in prices. Sierra is a...

    Quit on the Water!

    Thinking of changing it all, but hate to just throw parts at a problem. Guess I'll test what I can test today. Are the coils, points, condensers all sold as a kit? I really don't want to put a ton of money into this motor if don't have to. I'm thinking though with condensers they either work or...

    Quit on the Water!

    3/16" is pretty much average on the 3 motors I have. All are older, none will jump a 1/4" like many people say it should. This thing ran really good though when I had it on the water. It just up and quit after about 10 mins of low RPM running. I gunned it a few times, but since this was a test...

    9.9 Spewing Fuel

    Model no. at the bottom of post. It's a '75. Best place to get a kit? Amazon? I know some don't like that place, but I like how fast they ship and the wife has a prime acct, so saves a couple bucks on shipping.

    9.9 Spewing Fuel

    Right out the side of the fuel pump! What's up with that? Replace? Rebuild? Make a new gasket for it? And yes, I'm actually working on two Evinrudes right now. This little guy seems smooth and quiet. I just need to find a way to keep the fuel in it. m/n: 10524C

    Quit on the Water!

    Bought a spark tester a couple weeks ago and checked this motor with it. Jumped about 3/16" and looked healthy. Bright anyway. Thought about checking for spark when it quits too, but that might be hard to do out on the lake on a sunny day. Think I'll try the hairdryer trick. Should work for...

    Thanks Jimmbo, that's quite helpful. Happen to know how many ohms they should read?

    Quit on the Water!

    When said it looked OK, I meant nothing seemed obviously amiss. Pretty sure I can test the coils, I have an ohm meter. How will that tell me though if they wonk out when they get warm? Heat them up somehow while measuring resistance? Do these coils look original? I really expected them to look...

    OK cool. Thanks. So I got the flywheel off and everything looks OK to me, but what do I know? I'll post some pics up in a bit to see what you guys think.

    At the risk of sounding stupid, could you please tell me which parts are the magnetos? I don't see them in the parts list: https://www.marineengine.com/parts/johnson-evinrude-parts.php?year=1975&hp=9.9&model=10524C&manufacturer=Evinrude&section=Magneto

    Quit on the Water!

    I just cleaned the carb and it was running real nice right up until it wasn't running at all. Got it back on the stand, going to pull the flywheel and have a look. Guess it's time to give the McCulloch 14 some lake time! Just got it going a couple weeks ago so this is a good excuse to test it out.

    Quit on the Water!

    What about coils? When I pulled the plugs one looked a bit sooty, but the other looked fine. So I'm thinking the issue must be mainly with one cylinder. Can the coil work when cold and then quit when warmed up I wonder? How would I test for something like this?
