    1990 Force L-Drive 90hp -- Can't get it to idle -- losing my mind :D

    Stop setting your timing it has nothing to do with the idle. First you do a link and sync. And if the motor would not start out of the water without starting fluid that is a problem. Set the carb low speed screw at 1.5 turns out to start. But I will be totally honest with you it is an L drive...

    1977 evinrude 140. 135 strangler

    NO NO NO first you pull the heads on the 135 and see if you have the high compression ones. If you have those they are worth more than both motors combined!!!!

    Upsizing fuel connector on 83 johnson

    78 Evinrude 9.9

    Yes and if the head is not hot you need to look at the thermostat I would replace the impeller and emory cloth the sharp edges off the tube.

    78 Evinrude 9.9

    That motor should have water coming out of the exhaust reliefs in about 30 seconds not minutes. If it didnt warm up you may have a bad thermostat time to check that to.
