    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Oil Leaking from Air Silencer Cover

    Your outboard should be using pre-mixed 50 to 1 fuel so where is the oil coming from? It should be mixed oil and gas and it's quite normal to drip out of the carbs when tilted up.

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    Well 15 gallons on an older carberated 115 doesn't last long. (In comparison I have 37 gallons on a Etec 115) There used to be a formula for gallons per hour on two strokes based on cylinders and throttle. Anyhow, maybe you were low on fuel and just sucked up some air loosing power and then it...

    8hp Evinrude running poorly.

    The 6 HP and the 8 hp have the same block so it wouldn't matter. They just let the motor spin up more with carberation and intake. Are you using your 4 on the rubber boat? I still think all the barrell running and lugging it on the rubber boat has fouled it up. It's either that or you have the...

    Proper Manual ? ?

    Not sure but omc made quite a few changes in 91 to 92. I just saw an 1989 one online a few minutes ago.

    Proper Manual ? ?

    In smaller motors there is quite a difference between 1994 and 1989 but many things will be the same. Hope this helps.

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    A two battery system is always better and I wouldn't be caught without them. With a two battery selection switch whatever battery needs charging you just switch too. Still doesn't explain why your motor bogged down.

    CROSSFLOW PERFORMANCE ?'s

    The 17 volt thing seems to have many opinions online. Certainly doesn't explain why your motor went down. 2 strokes love WOT......

    Read some info that you might be using the wrong battery. Are you running a marine deep cycle battery?

    Troubleshooting 1999 Johnson 225 HO

    Again, solid beep is overheat and I do believe any alarm sets limp mode. Somewhat spit balling here. There is a low warning in the oil tank and thought maybe....but the tank is gone so someone must have dealt with those wires. You can test your pressure gauge pretty easily by removing the tube...

    1993 4HP Johnson

    Looks like you have a fine looking outboard. Next time, and let's hope you never need to, two screws removes the fuel pump giving you plenty of clearance. Enjoy.

    Getting shocked in forward and reverse.

    Probably something inside the box. I know a few captains that could use that function!

    What is this hole

    Do those have a tell tale? Backfiring to me, is to much fuel or improper timing. Make sure spark plugs are not fouled and lean it out some. Either way you will need to play with the idle screw to correct it or rule it out. Lean sneeze makes a different noise and the motor shakes side to side...

    What is this hole

    Timing usually. Did you run it long and did it get hot?
