    1976 Evinrude 35

    OMC used a few different Ignition Systems on that lineage of Motor. The Low Tension System used on the 76 model is quite Reliable and easy to service, and Service Parts are easy to attain. Those neat Electronic Boxes on later Motors, are not serviceable and require replacement when they fail...

    1958 Evinrude Bigtwin 35/1969 Evinrude Ski Twin 33 powerhead swap

    I think the Heads are different, not just because of the Compression Relief on the 58, but because the Cowl attaches to a Bracket on the Head, might also apply to the Crankcase.

    WOT timing value on a 90hp johnson?

    WOT Range for a 96 90hp Crossflow is 4500-5500. The 90 makes its Peak Hp at about 4700-4800rpm Isn't there a Sticker on the Airbox that states WOT Timing? 28 BTDC was common on the 90hp. However, setting that at cranking speeds could yield a different value when running at High Rpm due to the...

    NEED PROP ADVICE: '78 Johnson115 2stroke/ '82 Ranger 330V

    #4 #5 Trimmed all the way Down at WOT? That is one way to really kill Top Speed, and create a very Dangerous Control Situation. Trimming all the way Down is done to reduce Bow Lift getting on Plane and running at very low Planing Speeds. Usually once on Plane, the engine is Trimmed out...

    Trailer bearing blowout. Need help with repair(s)

    Contact EZLoader and see how much a new Axle and Hubs is. Might not be too much more than trying to repair the Damage, and that way the risk of the Wheels being Cambered or Toed In/Out is minimal

    Throttle movement but no increase in engine rpms

    The Al was 14 1/2 and the SS was 15 1/4 Don't know if the AL was cupped, or, actually anything about it. If the AL was already at or below the low end of the Rpm Range, then more Pitch will really drag it down, more than the usual 200rpm/in
