    Is it worth the work 66 Evinrude 15hp

    In my opinion! Unless you really want to save the 15 and you have the time and money to put into it sell it as is and move on. It will likely take more time than money but time is money. If you decide to go for it. A compression test would be first up before anything else to determine if it’s...

    69 Johnson 25

    Getting the prop to slip by hand is very difficult unless it’s completely toast. FR’s slip test is an important test to properly diagnose for slippage. Check around with local shops to see if any will let you try a couple different props. Then buy from them and support you local businesses if...

    Idle adjustment knob

    I’m not completely sure about this but I do believe your correct it is for adjusting the tension of the throttle much like cruise control. If it were on a sail boat you could advance the throttle and tighten the knob so it won’t back off easily. hope that helps

    1982 15HP Evinrude dies around 2 min during fast idle

    It does sound like your running out of fuel and my first thought was the tank vent as well. I know you said the tank is known to be good and the hoses have been replaced. So if it’s not a vent issue then back to the carb. Yes it was rebuilt but how well was it cleaned? Just a can of carb...

    I’m just wondering what caused you to check the compression before you changed the plugs in the first place? Were you having some trouble?

    25hp johnson 1988

    Yea sounds like you need to pull the head. check to be sure it is the same internal lay out not just the bolt holes. Put a straight edge on it and be sure it really is flat. check the block for any areas of erosion on the edges. If all else fails next best thing is to install a helix coil for...

    Did you torque the bolts in the proper sequence and pattern? Or use a sealer on the gasket? No sealer required it can cause blow by. Just looking for clues.

    1994 15 hp Johnson Fuel Problem

    More than likely. The ethanol that’s in gas these days attracts moisture from the air and will actually cause water to collect in gas tanks if they are left open. You can use gas additive like Stabil or similar and it works very well for up to a year. The white stuff you found was likely...

    1994 15 hp Johnson Fuel Problem

    How long was it in storage? Should have removed the gas before going into storage. You will likely need to do a carb rebuild and maybe even the fuel pump. And while your at it install a new water pump impeller as well.
