    Tilt Trim unit won't come out

    I guess I don't know that outboard. 112? I see now on your parts breakdown. One thing that other did was open the relief valve. Did you do that? That will make it so you can lower the ram creating more room. I've done a couple and usually it salt damage but they don't wiggle.

    I just read some more blogs....safe mode 2500 rpm's and less. Looks like you have a ficht motor so unsure. Many problems with that series. After replacing the sensor, if it doesn't run right, you may need a mechanic to read the emm with a computer.

    Maybe. My Etec goes into safe mode I believe but the rpms do not go up and down. Not sure on your year but that might possibly be it. Hopefully because it's not attached, it thinks it's overheating and is putting it in a safe mode. Do you think maybe you somehow tore it off putting the cowling on?

    Tilt Trim unit won't come out

    I don't remember any bolts. Pin at the top of the ram and a pin at the bottom of the assembly. Here is a video. This guy says some of them won't come out without moving part of the tilt/bracket assembly. He does take out the reservoir to give him more clearance. Enjoy.

    Pretty sure it's your temp sensor. Maybe your alarm isn't working and you overheated your motor or ...... Not sure. Should be two of them on each side of your heads

    F4 water issue

    Has anyone ever or know how you might test a water pump draw tube (brass one) in an outboard motor? If it flops around in there is that an indication? Never seen them flop around in a Evinrude engine. Maybe in a Yamaha that is normal. Please respond if you know. Thanks.

    Overheating Alarm at WOT 1992 Johnsons J140TLANS 140HP

    Forgot to answer, yes readings will be lower. One other thing to add, assuming this is a vro outboard the alarm is for both water and oil pressure/low tank. I forget now if the tone is different.

    Overheating Alarm at WOT 1992 Johnsons J140TLANS 140HP

    Well first off I'm confused. You say Tstat housing? I'm assuming you pulled the stat and bolted the cap back on. I believe the two sides should have the same temp reading. Sounds to me that something is partially plugged somewhere or worse. How's compression? Didn't you say the hottest reading...

    69 25hp johnson

    Mike, I think you already know but anything that can produce drag will reduce performance. If it was me I'd rather lose a little performance to save damage to my motor.

    Overheating Alarm at WOT 1992 Johnsons J140TLANS 140HP

    Okay. My brothers was actually an Etec and the dealer could seem to fix it either. Finally my brother and a Evinrude local rep went out together and played around with the springs. I know it got fixed eventually I just forgot what they finally did. I wonder if it would be ok to run it without...

    Johnson model J115FTLECS 115hp 2 stroke 2 cylinders not firing

    Tough one but I will attempt to offer suggestions. When you checked for spark did you test for good spark? You need a tester that test how far it jumps. Second thing, years ago I bought a used 90 from a dealer. When I took it out it seemed sluggish. Luckily as I drove it around all of a sudden...

    Overheating Alarm at WOT 1992 Johnsons J140TLANS 140HP

    Not sure I'm the right expert here but I believe each side should read the same, heat wise. Sounds to me that you have some blockage somewhere. My brother had problems with something called "popoffs" which affected his alarm and cooling. So maybe research and see if your motor has those. I...

    1973 85 hp evinrude motor problem

    A few questions. Do you have a omc control box, if so send pictures. Also, how do you know the starter is good? One last thing, did you try to jump the solenoid or use the key?

    1993 25hp Johnson 2 Stroke - Throttle Control

    I would try to find this kind. Does your wiring harness have the big red plug under the cowling? There used to be tons of them.

    1993 25hp Johnson 2 Stroke - Throttle Control

    I don't recognize that throttle system but try Craigslist for a stock side mount omc control box.

    1973 85 hp evinrude motor problem

    If it's a cranking problem it's most likely either the key switch, starter or the solenoid. If you know how to jump a solenoid try that. If that works replace the solenoid.

    Alarm goes off when trying to turn key on

    Well, shoot tough one from my seat. Ive had several 90's in that era and a 110 that's basically the same motor. This should have the omc control box that goes back to the motor with what we call the red plug. (Has a big red pull apart plug inside the cowling)from the motor side of the plug it...

    1984 sylvan w/ 110 v4 evinrude lost key

    Well, I've seen and used the dealers key ring and that's what it looked like. Being eBay not sure but it say like 100 something sold. Once you find the right key any key person can make you copies. Here's the thing though, those key switches do go out. So purchasing a new switch that comes with...
