    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    I have the manual for a 1994 which is a very similar motor, but I have to locate it again. However the knob is marked on and off. The way the hoses are routed, which are as original except the pulse line which is plugged seem to suggest it is an on/ off

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    What are my options for mounting a kicker motor, that can be remote steered? I know the Atwood bracket is $20 and if the kicker was hanging on the transom, I could make it work, but the kicker bracket complicates it a bit.. Wondering if a kicker can sit that close to the motor if the bracket...

    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    I would like both options to work, but I'm starting to think the carb will prevent the portable from working. As long as the internal works I can go fishing.

    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    The carb that is on there now ( '86 4hp carb ) has 2 nipples but is otherwise the same as the original. The third small nipple went to a pulse line from the crankcase. I plugged that line and the engine runs fine. The rotating valve is just a gas shutoff, according to the diagram on the...

    In search for a 17 ft deck boat

    Keep in mind, the VB1300 I mentioned was only an example as I just bought one and it's measurements are in my head, but if you get a boat that fits that trailer, you know it will fit in your garage tongue and all... The problem is your limited to a ~16' boat with that trailer, or similar. Now...

    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    Yes, after it starts to falter on the fuel connector, I get about 1/4- 1/2 squeeze before it tightens up, but it does not seem to give it any extra fuel. I did not try the tank higher up as I did not hook up the portable tank tonight. I didn't check the pump either, but I have another complete...

    In search for a 17 ft deck boat

    I/O's are falling out of favor pretty much for every reason you have as a pro to an outboard, so you can get pretty much whatever you want in an OB.. Keep in mind that the I/O also sticks out past the boats length, and so does the trailer. AND the trailer is a variable.. You can stick a 17'...

    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    It turns out, I figured it out... It will run 100% perfect on the internal tank. It will not run well on the portable tank/ fuel connector. I filled the internal tank, and ran at a low idle for about 1hr after fiddling with the low speed mix just a little. I have a video I'm going to try to...

    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    I'll have to get pics and model number tonight. The original carb did have a red bladder. I had to re use one fitting from the original carb to hook it up. Is it just safe to run it on the top/ internal tank? I know it's just cobbled togther with the wrong carb but it runs mint as long as it...

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    Any idea's on bilge pump mounting? A previous owner actually correctly installed a thru hull, and added a 450 GPH Seachoice pump that to me looks like a toy. It mounts to a bracket, that screws to the deck just above the bilge and with it the way it is, the pump sits just above the bottom like...

    What year outboard is this Super Seahorse 40hp?

    I'm going to guess, that it is sort of a bi metallic spring type arrangement, and shorting the wire to ground should light it up?

    What on the engine does the hot light connect to?

    1997 Evinrude 4hp tuning help

    I have this 1997 Evinrude 4hp which I got cheap because it was lightly stuck and the carb was broken. It's one with an onboard tank AND a fuel connector. I got it freed up very easy, and then got it to run, but the broken carb needed fixed. The plastic choke cam was broken and all the linkage...

    What year outboard is this Super Seahorse 40hp?

    Is there any way to hook up a temp gauge to this? It has a HOT light, but I suspect it probably does not work

    What year outboard is this Super Seahorse 40hp?

    I put the lower unit in a barrel, hooked some fuel and electrical up and hit the choke switch and key, but it spun and spun with no sign of life. I could hear the choke click but I suspect it does not work. I flipped the manual choke lever to ON, and then it roared to life. It sounds very...

    Scotty Manual laketroller downrigger good enough for fingerlakes trolling?

    My dad had electric DR's in the past, but eventually just got rid of them. He snapped his favorite weight off one year not paying attention and I think that was it. He's had a pair of Cannon Unitroll's or Lake Troll's for years. He replaced 2 other downriggers with Dipsys, so he can have...

    14' boat on 19' boat trailer?

    I actually just looked at the 19' trailer, and it's an EZ Loader not a Shorelandr. The back of trailer to tongue is 17', so it would never fit a 14' boat.. If I had looked, I'd have known. It might not even fit my 16' Chugger, although I think it will. The winch stand jutts backward about...

    19?? Starcraft Jetstar

    I've determined that this Holiday 14 is likely a '66 as the OB is a '66. The wooden dash is there, and it's been neatly covered with vinyl. I think the later boats got steel dashes. Contenplating Gluvit substitutes since I discovered that the previous owners put the deck on with 2 screws...
