    Small Flywheel Tool

    do you mean hold... as in while you unscrew the top bolt ?? I use a small 1/4 inch impact screw driver / socket to remove bolts on 3-10 hp engines and they work great . no need to "hold" the flywheel

    68 Johnson 9.5

    basics are not always basic to all and that motor does not sound to bad. No expert but I have reworked several 9.5 & most had comp#s in high 60s to low 70s none were speed bombs . these low compression engines were made to facilitate fishing- casting with their flat heads and easy...

    1976 Evinrude 6hp..only getting spark in one cylinder.

    6hp is a great motor and points are also a good system why not reinstall the points clean / gap them properly condenser may be bad keep coil wire away from the cam lobe ! test secondaries... boot to frame 3-7 KOhms depending on coil make

    68 Johnson 9.5

    try running with the cowl off.... if much better it may be breathing it's own exhaust due to a poor sealing skirt down below just above the water pump do a compression test and report back what you find. they are low compression engines but 65ps seems a minimum.

    Evinrude choke override spring 0318445

    certain it is a 1979... mdl # does not show up easy if really stuck you can probably just make one out of piano wire . I made one up for the choke on my 9.5 HP ... spring design is vey simple to reproduce and for the price you can order a whole box of spring.. piano wire ...just...

    Johnson 40e 74s blowing fuses

    strange that it ran with that switch .. in any event you must now track down the source of the low resistance to ground which is causing the fuse to blow . the fuse has a B+12v side ... the other being the load side. connect one VOM lead to the LOAD side of the fuse and the other...

    Question about service manuals

    actually running with the cowl off is good in the sense that more fresh air will reach the top mounted carb ... yet running in a drum could certainly cause carbon monoxide death...to the engine notwithstanding other issues running with the choke is imho more indicative of a dirty...

    Question about service manuals

    this covers most problem areas if the innards are ok http://www.leeroysramblings.com/OMC_9.5.htm just as info... the large round exhaust skirt above the water pump sometimes will let fumes go up into the powerhead area and cause engine suffocation as fumes get sucked in the carb.
