    Shifter

    Unless something was stuck or jammed in the lower unit, the carb would not affect the shifting. You might try draining the lower unit again just in case there was something in there jamming things up !!

    Evinrude Paint

    I have never used primer unless on bare aluminum. When I re painted my old jon boat, there were some bare spots, but I didn't bother to prime them. Just scuffed everything with sand paper and a scruffy pad with paint thinner. Cleaned off everything with alcohol and let dry. Used Rustoleum...

    Skiing behind vintage StarCraft Jupiter

    Depends how much hp you have, no reason it wont unless you have a really heavy person ! Back in 1964 I had a 14' mirro with an 18 hp evinrude and we skied behind that, getting up a little tricky but very doable. Also depends on the ski's, wider will be easier to get up on, skinnier will take...

    Ignition alarm

    I fill rhe oil reservior on the motor ( injected) when I fill the boats fuel tank. Oil from the reservoir mixes with the fuel when it comes to the carbs. The oil resevoir holds more than enough oil for my 17 gallon fuel tank. I always fill up with fuel on my way home, back unto my barn and...

    Ignition alarm

    My 1992 still has the beep and neighbor has a newer motor but don't know the year that has the initial beep. According to my manual that beep is a test for the over heat alarm beeper. My magnet came off the oil level float also, so I disconnected it. I do check my oil level frequently and fill...

    Star Tron added to Jetski's now they will not start

    How much did you use ?? Probably loosened up all the crap and plugged up the tiney holes in the carbs...actually just what it is supposed to do, but using it regularly prevents the all at once major cleaning job!!

    Tohatsu m8 2003 8hp jumps up and down

    Does the lower unit drain screw have a magnet ? If not get a small pencil magnet and go ibside the drain hole and see if any bigger pieces are in there. When you say little filings, how little ??

    Won't shift at the motor or won't shift thru a remote control ?? Actually can be many reasons, why not diagnose the problem first ?

    1992 6hp rewind starter housing

    Wasn't sure if that was the part or not...If it is...then it could be repaired I think. Epoxy, and some braces screwed in to help hold position and some reinforcement at the joints. Not pretty, but could be done for sure. The motor is new enough that won't find much in scrap heaps yet....

    Towing a Chaparral 23 H2o Sport boat with a 4Runner that has a 5,000 pound tow rating

    In my almist 60 years of towing, I learned to never tow at max capacity. Stretching the lumits may be fine as ling as there are no surprises, but.....when an issue arrises, it pays to have a cushion, especially when yours or someone elses life might depend on it. I use not more than 80% of max...
