    9.9/15 Front-to-back Armature Plate Movement

    OK pretty certain I understand now. Punching the vertical surface that the red arrow is pointing to.

    9.9/15 Front-to-back Armature Plate Movement

    You are talking about what I have shown with a red arrow. Correct? When I removed the armature plate I noticed the the brown Delrin bearing moves back and for on this I'm assuming this is where the play is coming from.

    9.9/15 Front-to-back Armature Plate Movement

    This is my concern (changing timing). When you are referring to boss are you referring to part 29 in the breakdown attached to my first post?

    Ok, I hadn't noticed it on any others I've worked on. No fix/nothing to be worried about then?

    9.9/15 Front-to-back Armature Plate Movement

    Good afternoon all, A couple of years ago I picked up a 1974 Evinrude 15hp E-Start that came with a 87 15hp parts motor. I have finally got around to fixing the '74 to be a runner again. The '74 had issues with slop in the armature plate (up and down wobble) and the coils had some of their...

    Can't Get LU to drop down on 1976 15Hp Evinrude

    Marine grease would be fine. I use a thin layer of the BRP triple guard grease when I redo these. You just don't want to allow water into the splines between the driveshaft and the crank. The o-ring should keep the water out and the grease provides that additional protection and stops corrosion.

    1960 Fastwin Gearcase Reseal

    Also if someone is able to confirm what products should be used and where with regards to sealers? I have the 3M for the spaghetti gasket. Should there be anything be applied to O-Rings or seals?

    1960 Fastwin Gearcase Reseal

    Is there a benefit to checking where it's leaking exactly prior to disassembly if I am going to replace all seals? Curious if I may be overlooking something?

    1960 Fastwin Gearcase Reseal

    I was just saying that it wouldn't hold any pressure... to be honest I wasn't too concerned about pinpointing which one was leaking as I purchased a complete Sierra Seal Kit for it and was planning on just replacing all of them.

    1960 Fastwin Gearcase Reseal

    Yeah I bought the Sierra Seal kit for it (18-2684) I was just going to do all of the seals.

    1960 Fastwin Gearcase Reseal

    I could not get it to hold ANY pressure and I was using a new seal on the vent plug along with a seal on the LU filling adapter used to connect my air pump setup to the LU. When I drained the LU there was some water that came out first before the oil (oil was pink).

    1960 Fastwin Gearcase Reseal

    Last year I was able to get myself a 1960 Evinrude Fastwin 15033. For some reason I really like the looks of these 1960s. Very representative of that era of time I feel. Anyways, I've been working on outboards for the past few years but this is the first one I've gotten one that hasn't held...

    Outboard Detailing

    True. Will try some simple green in a spray bottle and a light hose off after.

    Outboard Detailing

    Water under the cowl? Cover the airbox?

    Outboard Detailing

    Curious to find out how everyone details their outboards. I have a few vintage evinrudes that could use a good degreasing (including under the Cowling). How does everyone do this? Process? Products? Cheers, JG

    Sierra Spark Plug Boot Fitment to Champion Plugs

    Right?! I thought I was going crazy with the Sierra boots! 😜

    Sierra Spark Plug Boot Fitment to Champion Plugs

    Well, I picked up the OEM 581027 boots today. Photo attached shows Sierra boots on top, OEM on bottom. ID of the OEM boots at the plug end is just over 9.5mm and it fits snugly (& what I would consider properly) around the plug. The bigger diameter and what seems to be somewhat softer rubber...

    Sierra Spark Plug Boot Fitment to Champion Plugs

    I thought maybe it was just me but the staff at the parts store where I purchased them agreed that it's like the boots are the wrong size for the plug. I'm going to my local Evinrude dealer tomorrow and will be picking up some OEM boots as I KNOW they fit properly. I'll measure the OEM to...
