I'm in a bind........can someone please tell me if the electronics and stator are the same for a 1986 90hp evinrude to a 1986 115hp evinrude.....<br /><br />I'm in a panic, as I'm buying over the phone...<br /><br />Thanks in advance :)
I gotta share this 'miracle in a can' I found today. I normally use cold tank cleaner(carb cleaner) to clean carbon, gaskets and paint off of engine components (pistons, blocks, gear cases etc.) The cleaner at work is in need of replacing. Had a few gaskets to clean off the block and a ton of...
Hi Gents:<br />Is there an noticeable difference in running a polished versus a painted stainless prop? If so, is it practical to polish a painted one?<br /><br />Thanks :confused:
I heard some disturbing news today. WD40 is no longer flammable....One tech said he spent an hour trying to get an engine to fire using his trusty starting fluid (WD40). No dice. Several comrads said the same. If you are lucky enough to get old stock, hold on to it...<br />Don't rely on it as a...
Hi gents:<br /><br />I have a 1978 70HP 3cyl. long shaft merc. S#7087833 or S#4994955 (for our US friends)<br /><br />Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I hate the perma-gap plug recommended for this engine.(L76V)<br />>Is there enough clearance to run a conventional plug? Has anyone tried this? Is it...
Inlaw is thinking of buying a used 55 Nissan.(5-7 years old) Any thoughts or comments? What is their general reputation? They're rare around here.<br /><br />Thanks guys :)
Happy Holidays Gents!!<br /><br /> Has anyone tried to use the "min/max" function versus using a "DVA" adapter?<br /><br /> Haven't tried it yet and was wondering if "min/max" is fast enough to capture the spikes....<br /><br />thanks for any input gents :)
Interesting article. Confirms what a lot of people have said for years.<br />I came across an article lately about a fuel additive that was real interesting. I don't have the "click here" magic schematic has but if ya'll would like to read the article and if senor schematic is agreeable, I will...
Always wanted to make a large picnic table out of a sheet of particle board and saturate it with fibreglass resin.(coat, sand, coat, sand etc.)<br />Ant ideas on how this would stand up in the elements?<br /><br /> :confused:
Hello Gents....hope your still around.<br />One last thing I forgot to mention.....I know this applies to the 70hp of that erra and for the few 6cyl. I've done, I beleive its the same, but I'm guessing....<br /><br />Intermitent rough idle can be caused by sagged motor mounts which allowed...
Hello Gents.....I gotta get this off my chest.<br />- I'm no expert either!!....But I know that ignition systems are capable of producing very high voltages (30,000 50,000volts).<br />The spark plug presents a load to the ignition system and keeps the voltage down to around 4000 10,000 volts...
With all the ignition problems we see, is there a tool out there as below. I realize a lab scope would tell us more, but who can afford one? If a guy could build one of these for $100.00 CAN. would it sell? Sure would take the guess work out of diagnosing a missfire under load (out on the lake)...
