    1987 4hp 2stroke E4BRHCUD Neutral problems

    Luckily the spring is available. If you need to replace the O ring shift rod seal I believe you have to cut a thread in the bush, thread in a bolt and use that to pull the bush out.

    1987 4hp 2stroke E4BRHCUD Neutral problems

    The place I am suggesting there is a grease nipple but which could get tight due to corrosion if not regularly greased is where the shift lever shaft enters the top of the exhaust housing. Lesser makes do not have the greaser and often get tight, so tight that people break the shift lever...

    1987 4hp 2stroke E4BRHCUD Neutral problems

    Coupler ????? Surely, it's a one piece rod which withdraws from the gearcase as you remove it and should just slide back in as the gearcase is refitted . Kyis, two things:- 1, does the shift lever itself move freely or has that become stiff due to corrosion and lack of lubrication (there is a...

    Evinrude yachtwin 3hp peeing question

    A 3hp engine does not have a tell tale so the only place you should see any water is a few drops or a spray from the exhaust back pressure relief ports on the back of the "leg" If water is leaking from the exhaust cover plate gasket replace the gasket.

    Spark gap

    The recommended plugs are Champion QL78YC gapped at 0.030" There is no exact NGK equivalent but the nearest will be BPZ8HS-10 The number you quote (BPZHS-10) does not make sense . . . you have left out the heat rating number If you must use NGK plugs use ones with a 'Z' in the number because...

    Proper spark plug?

    QL86C is a hotter plug than QL82C Some lists say one other lists say the other The one I take as correct is https://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/BRP/SparkPlugChart2008.pdf which says QL82C. but it is possible that there has been a change since that was produced in 2009. If the Johnson...

    Evinrude 6hp gear shifter out of alignment

    You have not fitted the ends of the shift rods into the clamp properly. They must go in so that the bolts are in the "notches" in the rod ends when correctly fitted the rod ends will almost be touching each other inside the clamp. Provided the rods are fitted correctly into the clamp it will...

    Kill Switch installation

    It odd that there is no spark if the lanyard is fitted or not. The wrong type would give a spark when the lanyard is not fitted, and no spark when it is fitted surely ? Sounds to me that it is defective .. simple enough to check it out.

    Johnson 50hp Not cranking normally

    Test the fuse. Fit a new one if it has blown. My preferred method of testing for power is with a (12volt) bulb on a couple of wires, but you could use a multimeter/ voltmeter. If you use a multimeter be aware that because digital meters take so little current they can give a normal reading...
