    flywheel for 76 evinrude 15hp

    The motor I am getting I know like I have said has a stripped out gear puller hole. Now in the picture I have seen of this motor it looks like it might have a possible very small chip on the edge of the flywheel. If this is the case, I will just get another since I think this is a very...

    coil assembly and ignition coil assembly

    When I look at parts for a 15 evinrude...it has both. My 9.5 Johnson only has the coils underneath the flywheel. Do some motors have both of these and if so what is the purpose of the one that is not under the flywheel. thanks

    71 Johnson 9.5 - broken screw in cylinder head

    grr...well I had recently put a brand new cylinder head on due to a stripped spark plug hole. After my trip today, I was going to re-torque the bolts that hold the head because the manual says to after the engine has been run and cooled back down to touch. First one I torqued, it broke..damn...

    1967 evinrude 18hp vs 1971 Johnson 9.5hp

    I have the 1971 Johnson 9.5hp and have a chance to do a trade with a guy who has a 1967 Evinrude 18hp (not sure if he is going to ask for money or not also). If both are in good running condition with good compression, etc... what are you guys opinions on the worth of each compared. thanks

    1971 Johnson 9.5 dissassembly question

    How do you take the plates off that are above the lower unit but below the cowl and powerhead. The green sides that case the motor in. Is it a simple procedure or is there some sort of parts linked to this? I am wanting to repaint these. thanks

    winterize

    I was just wondering that if you use your boat year round (i live in texas and we have pretty mild winters), is it necessary winterize it? The most amount of time that I wont have it out is maybe a month? Should it still be winterized? thanks

    1968 6.6hp spits when warming up

    On my little 6.6 hp motor, when I first start it after being cold, it will spit here and there. It goes away when the motor warms up. I was wondering if this is a carb issue. I have rebuilt the carb and cleaned it really good. It doesnt die, but seems to come close sometimes. Then it gets...

    oil mix ratio

    If my engine calls for 50:1, will it hurt the engine to run it at 40:1 and / or will it make it run different? I have heard of folks doing this to be safe and make sure to always have adequate lubrication. I have a 71 model outboard is why I am asking...its getting up there in age. thanks

    forward gear problem

    1968 chrysler 6.6 hp OK, I have a question. How much does the clutch have to be worn before it starts affecting shifting into gear? As I have said before, my little 6.6 wont go into forward. It goes into neutral and reverse really easy. My dogs on the gear are slightly worn and my clutch is...

    1988 25hp

    couple question. 1. how does the spark plugs work on this motor? It is the kind with no shank. NGK makes them. How does it fire? 2. this is my dads motor and it lately has been in consistent. We think it was running on 1 cylinder because it was running with no power and sluggish. Every...

    chrysler 6.6hp slipping forward gear

    my little 1968 6.6 wont go in to forward. It will barely catch here and there and grab, but it is short lived. It goes into reverse and neutral easily. I can hear it skipping trying to grab forward, but it wont catch. What can I check or adjust? I have tried shifting really quick and fast...

    1988 Mercury 25hp

    dads got a 25 hp that is been having on and off consistent problems. Sometimes when we take it out, it will just run way bogged down at full throttle. On those days, sometimes it will kick in and run at full force...sometimes not. The motor doesnt sound rough or idle bad, the problem is just...
