    Any saving the engine? I’m devastated

    This is all to much, OMC suggest if you can't clean it pretty damn fast resubmerge it. But what I do, and this is in salt, is remove the plugs, stick the garden hose down the holes and flush it out. Then rinse down everything and pour two stroke oil down each spark plug hole and hand crank for...

    That poster was from 2013 so pretty sure they won't receive it.

    Need advice on 1989 4 HP Johnson

    If you go Racerone style, there is probably an adapter otherwise drill a hole in the shaft and stick a pin in it after you slide the slide hammer receiver in it. Or just do my trick. It's 50/50. Do not clamp on any bearing or seal spot. Use the middle area. Watch hitting your thumbs, redneck!🤣

    We can't hear the engine so for all we know you have a bad tach.

    2000 Johnson surging

    Fuel pickup tube screen? Did you notice the fuel primer bulb flattening? Sounds like fuel but spark could be an issue too.

    video of my motor idling

    5500 RPMs, good popping noise, 12 years? Everything looks and sounds good. I still think that outboard just needs to be taken out for a good run. If it sounds rough to you then maybe it just needs the carbs cleaned.

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    However you want to jump it....many ways. Easiest way? wires off of a battery, bolt on the hot to the starter side of the solenoid and touch the ground to a nice clean ground on the motor Hope she starts or check for spark. A spark test jumper too is cheap.

    Problems AGAIN!!!

    Here's two possible scenarios. Box is missing something or the cable is stretched beyond is specifications. Are they old cables?

    Problems AGAIN!!!

    That's one and it appears to be bypassed. You want the one on the motor. That's why I said to start it at the motor with the harness unplugged. It will define where the problem is. I was always the guy that sat in the front of the class with my hands up saying I don't understand, are you one...

    video of my motor idling

    Sounded normal to me.... Plugs can be wet idling in the carport with muffs or a barrel. The plug should be checked after it's been ran around the lake. Also, the idol should be put to its spec with it in gear under load. So that means when it's in neutral it will run a little higher. Those...

    Inexpensive critical part...somewhat cheap. If it in question.....

    It's froze to the crankshaft. That's because people didn't remove and lubricated occasionally what you do when you change out the water pump. It can be extremely difficult so what I would recommend spend the motor upside down or whatever kind of oil you like down in there and let it sit for a...

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    Unplug the remote to the engine back at the motor, jump the solenoid and see if she starts or farts or something. Report back.

    What area of the world do you live in so I can try to steer you to a place close?

    Problems AGAIN!!!

    Sealed switch near the shifter mech. It gives the solenoid a ground. Follow the wire. I opened one up and repaired it....not worth it though. Pretty cheap switch. Personally, I would jump it at the motor and see what happens. Then Unplug the outboard and do it again. Doing these things will...
