    1979 Evinrude 140 carb issue?

    The motor runs great above 3000 rpm. Below about 3000 the motor will run pretty well BUT I can hear rpms drop a bit and then come back up and repeat. It runs decent at idle. It is very cold blooded. Spark is good at 1/2 inch gap. Compression is good. I did carbs recently and I also have...

    Spark Plug Recommendation 1979 Evinrude 140

    My book says UL77V. But I have also read about others that may give better performance? My manual from 1979 says UL77V are best for full throttle and use alternate L77J4 for sustained idling. Any experience out there that I should consider?

    Two way Fuel Valve

    I have installed a new fuel tank in the bow of a 18 ft sylvan. I want to put a valve in line just in case of a cut line or something. I'm worried the fuel level could be high enough to cause a problem if fuel line damage were to occur. This would make a very dangerous situation. I looked for...

    Fuel line bends

    I did carbs on my 1979 Evinrude 140. I THOUGHT it would be a good idea to also change the lines to newer alcohol resistent stuff. So instead of yanking the lines off the barbs I cut them off (brilliant, I know). I am concerned now that the bends may be too tight and will collapse over time...
