    1998 90HP Evinrude Problems!

    Get a different gauge and retest the motor. Make sure the starter is turning fast enough. 98 was the last yr of the cross flow motor get a manual and maybe rebuild it yourself.

    25 hp running on 1 cylinder

    I believe there is only one pick up under the flywheel. Maybe you have a magnet off under the flywheel.

    1985 Evinrude Fuel Mixture Screw

    I don't think that is for your motor. Your motor has a fixed high speed jet and low speed orifice. First I would do a compression test then find the altitude chart for your motor. Then you can replace those with the correct ones.

    1993 Evinrude 15hp

    How long is it sitting for? If you are fishing for anything over 20 minutes that is a cold motor and will require choke to start it. And if all you are doing is idling the motor never truly warms up.

    Evinrude Intruder.

    My question is this. What is the difference between the GL model vs the EL 115 looper. In my service manual it says that the GLs range is 5000-6000 rpm and the EL is 4500-5500.

    25hp Merc only starts w/starter fluid

    DON'T PUT WIRE IN THE HOLE. On the base of the carb where it bolts to the motor is the exit hole for the primer. Use compressed air to blow through that. I brought visual aids. In pic #2 bottom of the primer you take the bolt,spring and ball out you will see a wee hole. That is the primer outlet...

    1994 20hp cold starting issue

    It likes to break at the linkages on the carb. They are only plastic so it happens the rod may be floating around in the motor somewhere. Here are some pics of mine should be similar. Not having the rod in place is probably causing the hard starting. Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest.

    Here is the solas I run on my 1977 15 hp and is going to go to my 89 15 hp. On my 1977 model the performance was identical to the factory prop. I am very happy with it.
