    1984 sylvan w/ 110 v4 evinrude lost key

    Here is another way. Omc made 17 keys (not very secure really) most dealers have the master set. Someone on eBay started selling them making them even more insecure. Oh well I guess. Anyhow, here is the link...

    15 Hp Johnson won't plane 12 foot boat.

    I believe this could be the culprit too. That 15 should go like hell on a 12 foot boat. Unless it's some tank fiberglass boat. I have a 12 ft alum boat with a 8 hp. When alone I have to shift my wait WAY forward until I get on a plane. Once on a plane, goes like hell. If I stay in the back and...

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    Also, what's the pinched off tube for? The second time it died the rpm's went way up so I think in leaned out and that why it ran up so fast just before dying.

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    I couldn't find a 3.5 until 2002 and the model number for that is J3rsnf. Anyway, I never saw an online filter. I would bypass it and see what happens.

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    I don't remember an online fuel filter on mine. Check the parts breakdown and see if that is stock. Could be restricting, otherwise float bowl could be working incorrectly.

    1998 johnson 115 lower unit leak

    Prop shaft might be scored? Dealer usually does a pressure test even though one guy told me the true way is a vacuum test. Could you be confused with just a rich running outboard with dripping down through the exhaust? Usually if there is a leak you will get water in with the oil.

    Debug Weak Spark on Lower Cylinder 1998 8hp.

    I had a slightly older one and if I'm correct with yours instead of 2 separate coils (one for each cylinder) it had one duel coil with two leads. I lost spark to one cylinder and a shop had to find it for me. So to answer one of your questions, yes one side can fail.

    Glad I could help. Cheers.

    9.9 electric start

    Here is a breakdown of a 1996. Not sure it's your model but this is what it should have. Part number 2. The main hot (red) wire from the starter should go to it...

    Stopped working

    Might sound like a stupid question but did you check for spark before you did all this?

    9.9 electric start

    That should have a starter solenoid somewhere on the motor. Start button goes to the solenoid and then to the starter. Follow the starter wires to it. You can manually jump the solenoid to see if that is the problem. If so replace it.

    F4 water issue

    I do have an infrared thermo. What should that read and where do I point it? In my day we used a wax stick up on the head. Pump wise, if you read above I checked it and even though it's used it looked fairly new. (Impeller fins are still mostly straight) I would rather not put anything more into...

    Alarm goes off when trying to turn key on

    If I remember right those old control boxes had a spot where you stuck a small metal thing in and you could set off the alarm. Near the key switch. I think maybe your problem is in the control box. Definitely a tough one. Did you think about taking it back to the guy who put it in?

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    Read the whole thread...all 6 pages of it. My advice? But a rebuilt power head exchange or have it machined and rebuild it yourself but don't hone it. The time and energy it takes it not worth the return. Motor is abused or used up. In my world if you need a carbureted 50-60 or 70 hp outboard go...

    1976 25hp Johnson ignition question

    Your description of turn over is confusing. I'm assuming you mean it won't run. Obviously it's not stuck and will rotate. Like some someone else try spraying fuel directly in the carb or some starting fluid. If it farts or runs for a little bit then you know it's a fuel problem. Also, spark wise...

    My wee little motor won't run full speed (2000 OMC 3.5hp)

    I have the Evinrude version of that motor that I got a so called deal on too. I messed with that thing for WAY to long and had similar symptoms just like you have. I like to think I'm a pretty good mechanic but could never solve that one. Threw it away. Years later I wondered if it was a...

    F4 water issue

    Well TT that I have touched before, at least in my experience, will get warm or even slightly hot so not sure I agree with your first line but it should not get this hot. To reclarify, it doesn't burn my skin but it's hot enough that you don't want to keep touching it. Also, I am running it in a...

    F4 water issue

    I agree on the TT results ( to hot and not a solid stream) though must not be steam because it looks the same at start up as it does after running but water starts out cool and then gets to hot. I've done leak down tests on cars but the one time I attempted to do one on a small outboard I could...

    F4 water issue

    On the first part I agree. I just pulled it back apart and the cup was correct....and it only goes in one way. Now the pump kit isn't new but it looks pretty good. Impeller knobs are still straight but she me wear on the plate. If it was an Evinrude it would still pump fine. So two things, hole...
