    OMC p/n 0335626 (nipple, fuel & oil) purpose?

    you could probably take 2 short pieces of clear rigid plastic of tubing and mushroom the ends a bit to fit the hose section. Secure with tape or.. spend 30$

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    I am no mechanic just done lots of trouble shooting in data transmission eqpt used by Telcos and fixing up oldies (50s to mid 70s) . Some radio and TV repairs years ago... just keeping my cells going best I can at 75 :-) . Fixed up some and ate crow along the way. hope you find your problem !

    Golden Jubilee Evi Sportwin 10 - Should I convert?

    where would you put nylon inserts ??? just mount the plate over the bypass cover using tad longer bolts as you see fit. the pump is reverse bolted with bolt head between the bypass cover and the plate with the threads sticking out the 2 mounting hole locations. If one bolt head...

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    OK I guess the main thing now is to restore sparks from the coil. the CDI may have blown due to the high voltage spikes going nowhere to ground as it should via plugs so further testing should be done with a means of ensuring the HV coil outputs will or can reach ground all the time...

    97 90Hp Johnson trim tilt

    no expert on T&T sticky valves but if you can drain the thing...... me...only me... I would load it up with WD40 and try to cycle it a few times .... drain and refill with T&T oil. retest

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    sorry to ask... how this all this come about or is this simply a new to you engine ? ... IF " NOT NEW TO YOU" when did the problem develop ? ..... after a specific incident, engine work done, battery change whatever ...?

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    if you carefully keep any single test wire from the engine frame there would be no " leakage" to ground through open air space. The path of least resistance ( being 0 ohms) is the metallic conductor inside the plug wire . btw what plug type have you installed. ?

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    up to you but such high voltages should jump much like water flows .... so if the coil's HV voltage can't make it the the spark gap it is being insulated from reaching the ground potential it needs to return to base . coil output is OK ....hook up a piece of plug wire to the coil or near...

    1969 85hp Starflite, ignition system change???

    backtrack a bit... is this a new to you motor or when did all this problem show up. 10-15-20 KV should not any problems jumping all the way to the plugs. anything special happened to cause it ? Unless I missed it... you did not indicate if the sparks will jump at the boots alone. you...

    How easy is it to replace the seals on a 50 hp Johnson trim/tilt myself

    try heat and some release agent (wd40 etc..) to seep n by capilary action.. retry patience brings joy :-) Dupont teflon spray is very thin like water

    How easy is it to replace the seals on a 50 hp Johnson trim/tilt myself

    My 2005 75 hp ETEC had T&T failure in need of a reseal a several years ago. Cost was $600 cdn incl taxes Because I did not have the courage to venture into a DIY job I paid and learned. . After much research on utubes if my T&T ever fails (touch wood) I will certainly dive in and do...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro, no spark! Help!

    see old post ... if not already done maybe check your voltage level on the starter B+ post while cranking...if to low not enough rpms will charge the power pack...thus no sparks https://forums.iboats.com/threads/1996-ocean-pro-225-no-spark.658691/ see file page 30 section on 6 cyl NO...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro, no spark! Help!

    hard to say without drawings and all DVA volts looks high on the above chart dingbat ^provided for the engine size/year .. way above what I expected... . so they coud be used to charge up some capacitors that would discharge into coils using CDI process. ... The CDI would need...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro, no spark! Help!

    I do not have specs maybe Racerone has them. I would not look to deep into this .....just try it and check for a rise in voltage on the battery (from resting to charging during higher rpms ). In theory if the battery is to be charged at higher rpms it should rise " x" volts. the DC...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro, no spark! Help!

    DVA is essentially a AC to DC converter to flatten out high peaks of AC the average out the DC equivalent voltage. you can buy a meter , a meter adapter module or build your own if you look them up on google. Doing just an AC reading will tell you if the stator is producing AC or just...

    yes you should see AC volts on your VOM...some engine even have 3 yellows and use a 3 phase diode rectifier .

    yellows carry AC power and reversing the wires does not matter

    Ruh-Roh… a new gear case may be in order

    Marine gps maps will give you bottom contours much like a topo map will give you mountains and valleys. maybe not all the rocks at 2 feet but you will know the bottom is coming up ahead .... and set your depth alarm at an appropriate depth
