    Need advise on 1991 48 HP Special Evinrude

    Just to Incase you were expecting the tilt assist to lift the motor it will not. It will only assist in making it easier to lift. On the down fall it will assist you in controlling the drop and you can stop it anywhere you like by turning the lever. I can’t help you in finding a seal but if you...

    1987 Johnson 15 no spark

    What was the reason for the carb rebuild? We’re you having problems? Did you use a kit and if so what kinda was it? Maybe squirt some fuel mix in the carb and see if it will bark at you.

    Evinrude Big Twin 35

    If you don’t need to unload it I would hang on to it. The only only problems they had were lack of maintenance and it sounds like that was not a problem. They do like to drink the fuel but parts are still available and cheap and easy to find both new and used. They were made when things were...

    Evinrude Big Twin 35

    I don’t think you would have any problem selling it if that’s what you wanted to do. Especially if your in any sort of a lake region. It’s nice to see one like that. There usually laying in a pile of brush infested with critters. Best

    Have you checked for water in your fuel? Don’t mean to beat you up but I see it all the time and people don’t believe it could be the problem.

    1991 25hp evinrude starting issues

    Looks can be deceiving. My wife looks good but doesn’t work. Swap the wires and see if the problem follows.

    1994 40hp Johnson run

    If you have leaking gas why not fix that problem first. Of course you will still need to run it to see if it’s fixed but if you have plenty of fresh air flow and your in a confined closed up space you should ok. Famous last words.

    Will Replacing Rings Increase Compression >105PSI?

    I’m with Racer on this one. If it’s a high hour motor it really needs to be inspected before anything is done. The ring free can work in some cases but in my eyes you have a 50/50 chance of it helping a bit or helping to much. I have seen these snake oils free up so much carbon that things...
