    Where to start

    agree... yet in start mode after the choke plate opens up the fuel mostly comes from the idle cct part of the carb until given throttle . it should idle after starting

    Where to start

    ok you got fire and fuel..... what about compression #s now you need to get the gas inside the cylinders.... do you feel a good suction on the carb face ? my understanding of carbs is that the first shot of "fumes" comes from choking and the top idle passage idle chamber/drip holes...

    Bolts ?

    you can also try freeze chock a can of keyboard dust cleaner from the dollar store held upside down will shoot liquid propellant to freeze the bolt head hopefully the contraction can break the bond between the bolt and the engine body I also found that Dupont silicone...

    1986 Evinrude 225 v6 only 5 volts at harness plug

    I am not to certain I understand precisely ... what you found but if you found the problem great. before you spend $$$ did you try polishing all the surfaces of male/female contacts of the connector. It may be all it needs thanks for the feedback

    1986 Evinrude 225 v6 only 5 volts at harness plug

    reading 5 volts along a wire.... indicates that the source voltage (12v) has dropped in proportion to the resistive load ..... as in Ohms law. wherever your read 5 volts "across" something means the 12v is being shared along a resistive path between a solid 12 v at a source down...

    1986 Evinrude 225 v6 only 5 volts at harness plug

    what exactly is it you do to JUMP THE POWER AROUND THE PLUG ?? are you " bridging wire to wire " ??? if so the contacts need to be cleaned ...did you ? when we put in gear it still cranks...? are you saying the starter keeps spinning or trying to spin the engine while in forward gear...

    1986 Evinrude 225 v6 only 5 volts at harness plug

    I can only get 5 volts on the engine side of the plug when in plug it in. the choke, horn alarm work but won't crank with key. Fuse is good but NO wires get 12 volts the the engine side of plug when hooked up. Q1- do you have 12v on the selenoid main post ? you should.... if not clean all...

    1994 Johnson 175 turns over with key switch off?

    going by pictures available of the wiring diagrams (around same years) but if no ECM that makes it simpler :) update: possibly a C.D. unit not an ECM as you indicated the selenoid control wire splits to the selenoid and... the CD unit getting the proper diagrams is tricky :-(...

    Removing Cylinder Head 1960 18hp Lightwin.

    well.... it is a nice project looks like a good canditate for a 3hr flush how about peeking inside if you takeout the reed plate behind the carb if the innards are just as bad give it back to your b.i.l. :)

    Removing Cylinder Head 1960 18hp Lightwin.

    I use a common putty knife and hammer blows chisels are to thick but a putty knife has a fixed thickness and wedges in between surfaces try warming things up a bit with a heat gun ( no propane torches) just plain heat say 250 deg

    Losing a cylinder intermittently ‘86 50hp

    agree with #17.... pushing the obstruction (crud) back into the idle chamber with a wire would only cause it to plug up the crab....... downriver :-(

    salt water motor ?? internal passages could be blocked with deposits and according to a recent utube I was looking at... you may need a flush ....like is done of radiators. try to localize the hot zone with an Infra red reader (cheap tool 25-30$) that may clue you where to focus...
