    68 Johnson 9.5

    try running with the cowl off.... if much better it may be breathing it's own exhaust due to a poor sealing skirt down below just above the water pump do a compression test and report back what you find. they are low compression engines but 65ps seems a minimum.

    Evinrude choke override spring 0318445

    Johnson 40e 74s blowing fuses

    strange that it ran with that switch .. in any event you must now track down the source of the low resistance to ground which is causing the fuse to blow . the fuse has a B+12v side ... the other being the load side. connect one VOM lead to the LOAD side of the fuse and the other...

    Evinrude 6 1997 Propeller shaft oil seal
