    something new coming in electric OB

    I think it said 30....so I'm wondering, 30 miles out and 30 miles back? Wishful speaking I suppose.

    something new coming in electric OB

    From what I understand they now come with a flux capacitor. Stuff a little trash in the feeder tube and fish all week! Crosby, I hope before I go to the next world I'll get to drive one. Thanks for sharing.

    tiller throttle won't turn unless you push on linkage

    It has a neutral lock. While off, gently turn the prop while shifting it into gear and see if your problem goes away. If you tried that already undo the throttle cable and see if it moves freely. If so the assembly under the flywheel needs cleaning/lubing. Send us a picture of this little...

    tiller throttle won't turn unless you push on linkage

    Normally, a new cable. You can purchase a cable luber at a motorcycle store.....clamps on to the outside sleeve at the end sealing it and you shoot wd40 down the little straw hole. It could be that your hardware under the flywheel is gunked up. Remove flywheel, inspect, clean and lube...

    johnson 20hp electric start

    Agreed, many starters out there. Brush kits are available and their somewhat simple to go through and clean.

    115 Crossflow Stripped Important Bolt

    Yes, only fix is to do it right. If the motor was affected then you have a problem. Remove intake, fix bolt hole, clean and inspect everything....re-install. You may want to do a compression check first to see if you burned anything up. I wish you well.

    first bass boat (Evinrude outboard)

    Agree with above. Be patient with this motor until you understand how it runs and whether it needs all kinds of services.

    Surging Johnson 6 hp.

    Motor could just be wore out. At 90 90 if they run bad I turn them into parts motors or rebuild them. 2 things to note... "Running in a barrel at full throttle" ? (Not advisable) "flow problem " (might still have an issue? IR gun with multiple shots while running on a boat) Spit balling here...

    1982 Evinrude 90 hp

    I concur, compression test first. In general outboards will run fine in a barrel but under load will run poorly or die. Many conditions will cause this.

    1987 Evinrude 9.9 No Spark On Both Cylinders

    To explain more, kill wire can test ok and still malfunction. Best to eliminate the possibility by unhooking it until you diagnose the problem. I'm guessing since it was exposed outside that possibly the kill switch is the culprit but simply unhooking it is the best test.

    1987 Evinrude 9.9 No Spark On Both Cylinders

    Yes grounds need to be cleaned. 5 dollar tester probably isn't accurate. Unhook the kill wire for now. If everything checks out pp is probably no good, there's more complex tests for the power pack but most people just replace it.

    Agreed, sounds like a fuel issue.

    2004 Evinrude 115

    The Yamaha's have known corrosion issues. Lots of anodes trying to keep those engines from rotting out. IMHO, aluminum is not as good. I'd still probably take one over a ficht motor though however I do own an e-tec....it's my second one.
