    1985 Evinrude 6 hp long shaft lower unit removal

    If its a long shaft model unbolt the extension from the exhaust hosing and remove it with the gear case. Then clean up the drive shaft and remove the extension. (The shift shaft pulls away with the gearcase There no join and it just slides out from the gubbins at the top) The reason for this...

    You should be ble to start it by operating the primer manually and either jumping across the large terminals on the solenoid or from the terminal with the incoming supply to the small terminal which is not grounded

    Nothing on key turn

    It seems most likely to be either power not reaching the ignition switch .... (which is why I suggest testing for power at the "B" terminal on the switch) or a faulty ignition switch IF you are getting power to the switch check for power on the "A" terminal when the key is in the "ON" position...

    Water leakage???

    What F_R says ITYWF the water is coming from where the shift rod passes from inside the steering pivot tube into the "foot" of the exhaust housing There should be grommet, #42, in the hole but it may be missing. The milky oil coming from the prop after shutting down is almost certainly...

    Nothing on key turn

    Check the negative ground connections as F_R suggests The fact that you have power to the trim confirms that the fuse is Ok Check for power getting to the ignition switch ( terminal B ) If not check the wiring between the fuse and the switch for breaks / bad connections . If you have power to...

    Electric starter and rectifier

    Are you sure about this. I don't see an electric start conversion kit listed for this engine Not only will you need the starter motor and solenoid, a different flywheel, different stator and a rectifier but practically everything under the flywheel of the electric start version is different...

    Johnson 6hp hard start

    Are you sure the choke is closing fully.. Are you filling the carb bowl fully with the primer bulb. If that is done then the fuel pump is not a consideration. Have you tried opening the throttle further . ( Mine is an earlier model which has an interlock between the throttle and the starter. I...

    Upper Water Tube Grommet Replacement 6hp 1985.

    Not sure what you mean by "grommet" under the power head #91 is the gasket between the power head and the inner exhaust tube and the exhaust housing. #68 is the watertube and #75 the watertube grommet

    Upper Water Tube Grommet Replacement 6hp 1985.

    I cannot be sure from the video if the water is coming from the gasket or the shift lever shaft or both. There is more water than I thought could come from the shift shaft. but i maybe just the O ring that has failed I dont think you will be able to withdraw the shift lever without removing the...

    Upper Water Tube Grommet Replacement 6hp 1985.

    Failure of the grommet will not cause the symptoms you describe/ show in your video. The usual problem with is that it obstructs the cooling water flow from the water tube into the power head. If it actually failed water would leak back down into the exhaust housing If you have a good stream...

    Rectifier/Regulator on 1982 Johnson V4 question?

    ITYWF that models with power tilt and trim have a 10 amp stator and originally a (separate) regulator. The regulator is NLA hence the use of the CDI combined rectifier and regulator. The round 3 and 4 wire rectifiers are not regulated

    Rectifier/Regulator on 1982 Johnson V4 question?

    Welcome. I think you will find that the original regulator is unavailable The way forward is therefore to fit the CDI regulated rectifier you mention If you fit a simple rectifier without a regulator you will risk overcharging your battery with a 10 amp stator

    Oil Leak?

    Almost certainly partly burnt oil from the fuel.... especially if you've been running for a prolonged period at low speed As said gear oil smells unpleasant ... like rotting cabbages. and is not likely to leak from anywhere above the oil level in the gear case anyway as F_R implies Read this...

    Help -Spark Plug and fuel oil mixture

    If the VRO ( Variable rate oiling) system is working OK that is what mixes the oil and gasoline in the correct, variable, ratio . Until you confirm that the VRO is operating correctly run it on a 50:1 fuel mix To determine what plugs you need you need to know the HP and year then you can look...

    Evinrude E10RCNS lower unit leaking oil?!?

    Looks like partly burnt oil from the fuel to me, which is normal for a two stroke, but check your gear oil by all means to make sure it shows no sign of water ingress. Read this item from the engine FAQs https://forums.iboats.com/threads/oil-leaking-around-lower-unit-by-iwombat.206038/
