    Converting a long shaft 1991 Evinrude E40TLESR to short shaft and tiller controls

    I have a 16 ft Lund. 40 should be over the HP for that hull I would think....mine would be. I have a thirty and it's all I need and then some. Send us pictures. You would need a short shaft driveshaft and a shift shaft. Then you typically cut the water tube down 5 inches. A parts motor would...

    Evinrude 60 HP (3 Cylinder) Won't Suck Fuel

    Send pictures of the motor so we can verify the vro has not been removed or caped. Bunch of shots from the port side. If there is a working vro then you shouldn't be mixing your gas. This is assuming I'm reading you right.

    Engine tune-up spray

    I use a stainless wire brush, then spay them with carb cleaner, blow them out with compressed air and then I heat them up with a propane torch just near the bottom to get any moisture that's left. They look brand new to me. Once the electrode is getting warn away, I toss them.

    1978 Johnson 150 hp tach wire

    There should be a round runner cap below the key switch. If you pull on it you will see another rubber fitting with 3 wires connection. That's your tach tie in.

    Evinrude 60 HP (3 Cylinder) Won't Suck Fuel

    Well you should post the model number then we know what motor we are dealing with. Have you done any checking of the mechanics of the motor like compression check? Just to cover the dumb stuff, primer bulb is pointed the right way, correct? Are you buying good OMC/brp parts?

    Identify Motor

    Well their close if not right. I have a 1978 35 HP and that's all close. The carb throats are a lot smaller on the 25 so that might help but unnecessary really. The I'd tag on the carb could probably confirm horsepower. You can match it up with a parts company. Everything else tells me it's of...

    Engine tune-up spray

    No, can't hurt. All the products I used to use, and yes I have a bunch of crap sitting on my shelf, usually did a good job. Carbon cleaner, fogging oil, electrical contact wax....yada yada yada. All works but as I age I use it more now when I need to not just for the hell of it. Seafoam in...
