    76 Evinrude 9.9 Shift Linkage

    A couple weeks ago I noticed that my lower cover half had a broken mount. The lower cover half was cracked near 3/4 of the way around the mount ( 1/4" threaded hole ). I found a new lower half and replaced it using all my original parts other than the two gears that the tiller handle operate...

    61 Evinrude 18hp soot

    I've had this motor for about 6 months. I noticed almost like soot deposits ( probably carbon) under the side where the exhaust cover is. I've cleaned it a couple times but it re-appears. Would it be one of the two gaskets on the exhaust? Can I leave it for now or should I discontinue use until...

    What do you pull your boat with?

    Re: What do you pull your boat with? I pull my 14' with a 2005 Chevy Express 2500, small v8. It's a royal pain to back up at times, but I love having everything closed in. It is a new to me van as I just upgraded from an 89 Chevy Vandura 2500 with a v6.

    Re: Motor Still Won't Fire After New Ignition Components and Carb Rebuild I not sure it is possible to get a spark with the coils wired to the wrong points, but are you sure that they are connected to the correct set of points. The green wire is long enough to go to either one. It should be as...

    Motor Still Won't Fire After New Ignition Components and Carb Rebuild

    Re: Motor Still Won't Fire After New Ignition Components and Carb Rebuild The mount is not worn down, I just put a 61 18hp together and it looks identical. You want to line up the coil face with the upper edge, the one where the screw is. It must be right on or the coil face will get hit by the...

    61 Fastwin 18hp fuel consumption

    I have a 18hp Fastwin that I replaced the coils, condensers and points in. I took it for a run today on a 14' aluminum wide / shallow boat. With 2 occupants, trolling motor and battery it seems a rough calculation showed about 7.1 mi/gal ( imp) or 2.5 km/l . Does this sound reasonable or do I...

    Evinrude 9.9 Stall

    I have a 1976 Evinrude 9.9 Model 10624H with a strange stall problem. It starts good and idles OK for trolling. Dies once and a while trolling but always restarts with 1 pull. The stalling problem always seems to occur like this, Start motor and warm up, leave dock, full throttle for 2.5km...
