    1957 fd-11 johnson lower keeps leaking from center screw hole

    strange problem.... try some gasket goo then place a flat washer over the goo then install the bolt and nylon washer over the flat washer which will provide a flat surface easier to seal. hopefully you did try the standard marine gradenylon washer under the bolt head.

    1973 Evinrude 25 sneezing

    actually... at idle ....the fuel is extracted from the upper section of the carb so the welch plug cavity is a critical path to check out. the top half of the carb's side channel leading to the upper cavity & idle screw is a very narrow passage and also needs a close inspection ...

    1999 Johnson 2 stroke primer issues

    find the wire on the primer.... backtrack to the switch find the same wire ... if the switch puts out 12v you should have 12v at the other end of the wire on the primer if not the wire is open or connections are oxydized . a grounded wire would cause a blown fuse

    2 stroke winterizing?

    fogging cost nothing to speak of ... keeps the innards oily and feels good :-) 55 years + boating I always fogged the outboard but strangely I never bother about the 2 stroke lawn mower and they never complain :-) Lawnmowers usually fall apart before the engine kicks the bucket. IF OB...

    Evinrude ficht 150 2002

    much like the newer ETEC EMM's the former EMM on FICHT is not likely to be able to detect anything but electrical problems on injectors. ( short /open...) it can not see anything mechanically flawed leaving you with the option of having the injectors serviced if....they can be after...
