    So the black flexible tip on one end of the thermostat is normal?

    I put water into both the large canal where the screwdriver is pointing as well as the small rectangular area using a hose to put the water in there. Both tests resulted in the water quickly making it's way down and out the prop hub. Sound promising?

    Is that tip supposed to be attached to the thermostat? Would that make it stick closed?

    I pulled the thermostat assembly apart. Found this loose pin. See pic. I put the brass thermostat in my vice and applied heat to the button end and observed no movement. The nipple coming out of the thermostat is like black in color and flexible . I don't see how the tip that is loose connects...

    Thank you. I removed the thermostat assembly but haven't checked flow yet with it out. I'll report back later in the week. Finally got above freezing in nj so I was able to spend a little time on it today

    So bought this motor last week. Former owner said last time out the overheat alarm sounded. He shut it off promptly and put her on the trailer. Water pump is pumping water from the telltale fine. I checked compression 120 psi even all 3 cylinders. I started it up on my stand and after running...

    Yamaha 50 hp 2 stroke prop seal depth

    Ok I do see 2 lines on the shaft where the seals were but not deep at all. Can't feel them with your fingernail. Maybe I'll set them deeper so it's on a fresh part of the shaft. Thanks

    Yamaha 50 hp 2 stroke prop seal depth

    Replacing the prop seals on my 2006 3 cylinder 50 hp. Currently the outermost seal is 4.5 mm recessed from the outer edge of the housing. Should I repeat that or install deeper? I'm aware there are 2 seals there. Should I push the 1st seal all the way down and then the 2nd seal all the way down...

    Evinrude 9.9 carb question

    You are correct sir. Just strange to me why the same cover could use 2 different needles. Looks like one of them would be too short to allow the mixture knob to connect?

    Evinrude 9.9 carb question

    Yes a new #21 is installed. I need to take a look at the cover I used. Maybe there is no way for air to enter the top of the carb?

    Evinrude 9.9 carb question

    Working on a 1988 evinrude 9.9. Plastic top carb. Original top was cracked. I installed one that looks just like the updated kit which uses a plastic nipple in which to slide the throttle roller onto. I transferred the needle valve from old to new (this version uses a front mounted mixture...

    Honda 9.9 burning oil

    Is this similar to a car where I can pressurize the cylinder through the spark plug hole then change seals? No need to pull cylinder head right?
