    Hard Start 15 hp

    I have a 6 H.P. 'Rude that I had the same identical problem with. Was hard to start but ran great after it started. Tried everything, even a total rebuild. Had the same issue after wards. Turned out that the choke was not staying closed 100% when I pulled the knob out. Found that when I...

    Just a question 1971 18 hp Fastwin

    Copper has been used for the plumbing in homes and other buildings for years & years. Hard to improve on such a proven product for plumbing use.... Way better than plastic and / or galvanized plumbing. Maybe stainless steel tubing may give the copper a run for it's money, but would the extra...

    Evinrude angler 5hp hard to steer

    There is a screw that you can turn to loosen or tighten the steering mechagnism on most motors (if not all motors). Just look for an adjustment screw and loosen it a smidge and she should loosen up for you.

    '89 Johnson Propeller Issue(?)

    Just a thought here: Have you tried the motor t a different tilt position to see if the "warbling" decreases or goes away?

    94 Johnson Slow Cold Start Issue With Video

    I watched the video, and it appeared to me that you did not lift the fast idle lever up the first time you started the motor, you did not push the key in to choke it, and you put it into gear before the motor had any chance to warm up. The second time you started the motor in the video, you...

    Gear Oil Everywhere

    I would suggest to drain the oil from the lower unit (if there is any left). If it is already drained, you have a problem. If oil is leaking out, that means water is able to leak in as well. If it is milky, you have a problem. If you have oil in the lower unit gear case, and it looks clean...

    Newly bought Johnson 7.5

    When you try starting it when it's in your yard or driveway, make sure you have water in a big drum or garbage can and about 8" higher than where the water ompellor is in the motor. Do not run it dry. You can give it a shot of ether into the carb to see if she will try to start, but I would...

    No water discharge from port 1967 33hp evinrude

    That "foamy" oil on the water in the test tank would smell more like fuel than actual oil if it is from the exhaust of the two stroke engine. I even see it on my lake especially when the water is ice cold, but not as bad as in the test tank (barrel).

    6hp fisherman idle issue!!

    I also have a 6 H.P. Evinrude that I had a problem with idling & starting after I rebuilt the carb with new, CHEAP parts. I rebuilt the carb a second time with OEM parts and it was a world of difference. The cheap parts that I put it were junk. The gaskets literally softened and became...

    Hose to tell tale fitting specification help

    If you use a "regular" hose and it won't bend sharp enough without kinking, just add an elbow to it and you should be all set to go.

    2007 15 hp 2 stroke carburetor

    May as well post the model number because someone will need it to answer your questions. For adjusting the idle speed, some motors have a idle knob for this purpose at the end of the throttle handle, unless you are asking how to adjust the fuel / air ratio.

    Derating a 5 hp ( ca, 1995 model) to 4 hp

    I may be wrong here, but I think you want to reduce the H.P. by 20% (from 5 H.P. to 4 H.P.). Reduce the hole by 20% and you should have it.

    1990ish Evinrude 6hp not idling

    If you can get some Seafoam there, add some of that to the gas to get rid of all of the crud in the carb and engine. It will clean it out for you real good. I use it religiously in both of my motors (6 HP & 70HP). You can use a full 16 oz. can of it to 6 gallons of fuel the first use to clean...

    1990ish Evinrude 6hp not idling

    Check that fuel out. Pour a little bit in a jar and take a look at it. If it is dicoloroed or smells like varnish, or has any moisture in it, get rid of it. The smoke is from the oil in the gas. Two cycle outboards tend to smoke because you are burning the oil with the gas. This being...

    Johnson 55 hp throttle won't advance while in gear.

    Sounds like Gino is putting it into gear o.k., but then is trying to use the "warm up" lever, to get more throttle with that, instead of pushing the gas lever forward farther, doesn't it? Gino, once you put it into gear with the lever sticking up, just push that same lever forward more...

    evinrude 5hp 4 stroke E5R4SSB water in oil

    It could be a head gasket or a base gasket that is blown from overheating, however, if you have good compression, it probably is not the gaskets. I would definately replace that thermostat, change the oil, and take it out on the lake. After trolling or slow idle for awhile, run the motor at WOT...
