    Outboard idles great with light load, stalls some with heavy load.

    Got an E-rude 130hp that runs great. About 30 hours on it since the remanufactured powerhead was installed. When I go out with my wife and I the boat will idle at 650rpms in gear, and will idle until I cut it off. We were idling for about 25 minutes a few weeks back and she didnt even hiccup...

    Need to bring up the RPMs some. Currently running a solas amita.

    I am running a solas amitas which is a 14.8" x 17" pitch prop. I have an evinrude 130hp in very good health, and on a heavy load (typical for this boat) I am running around 5500rpms at WOT. I know this falls into its range (5500-6000rpms) but I was hoping to run more in the 57-5800 range with a...

    Question about Merc 2+2 enrichner

    Buddy has a Merc 2003 2-stroke 115ELPTO. Starts pretty well, but sometimes gives him a hard time. It is his first boat so I am going to the lake with him to give her a go. I have 2 questions: 1.) Does the enrichner actually squirt fuel into the carbs or does it simply open a valve so that when...

    In floor 12v plug??

    I use my boat for fishing and pleasure. I put the bait tank in the middle of the floor in the boat, and get tired of tripping over the power wires running to the battery. Id like to run power from the battery, under the floor, to an outlet so that I can just plug the tank in there. I have found...

    Lost 200 rpms!?!

    Hey guys trying to figure out how I lost 200 rpms. Speed of boat seems to be within .5-1mph of where it always has been. It is a 20' finerglass boat, no jack plate. Motor is evinrude 130hp (1995 v4 looper). Anyways, motor runs great, and speed/rpms doesn't seem to be affected by how much gas...

    Blowing aftermarket ignition coils!?!

    So I am just curious here. I have a 90's V4 Evinrude and never had an issue with my ignition coils. I changed them out to generic, and later CDI because it looked like some of them had the epoxy separating from the housings, even though they still worked fine. First trip out with the generic...

    Seating core/welch plugs?

    Hey fellas, what are you guys using to seat core plugs in carburetors? I usually take a socket about 1/2 as big around as the plug and tap em in place. Also, what for sealant? I have set them dry with no issues. I have also heard of guys using nail polish, but I dont see how that would stay in...

    Throttling down quickly creates surging?

    Hey guys, getting all the kinks worked out of my ol' girl. Anyone know what this is a symptom of? It ONLY does it when throttling down and then popping it into neutral. If you keep a load on it (in gear) for a few seconds it doesn't seem to do it as much, if at all. Also note that I have all new...

    Double oil fouled plugs?

    Hey guys, still breaking in my powerhead on my '95 Evinrude 130. Amazing how long it can take when you use your engine to fish inland lakes and small rivers :). First 4-5 hours was done in 2 trips. Past 3-4 trips I put on about 2 hours. Break-in is going well for the most part. I have the VRO...

    Is this the only Yamaha engine hanger? 2003 150 2 stroke

    Motor is 2003 150hp 2 stroke carbureted. I am trying to find out if this hanger is the only place that I need to clip to to lift my motor and set it on a stand. Also, the hanger is set back from center of the motor. Seems like it would be a little off balance if I clip to this. Should I trim the...
