    '88 60 hp evinrude dies when running

    Ok, so far have I rebuilt all the carbs, cleaned jets, set timing, link and sync, new plugs, new fuel line from the tank to fuel pump, new racor fuel filter. The motor will idle like a champ and jumps right out of the hole. It will run at 4k plus rpms great for about a minute then just stops...

    Fuel leak and carb fix?

    So I rebuilt the carbs tonight and upon pulling the needle seat out of the carb that was giving me all the trouble, found the little speck of crud in the first pic below. It's hard to believe such a little thing could anger the carb gods!!! The second pic is of the naaasty needle seat out of...

    Carb clean versus rebuild??? '88 Evinrude 60

    So I've cleaned the carbs three times on my engine and it now idles smooth and will power up...for a few minutes. What will rebuidling fix that a good thorough cleaning will not? My problem is it will run good and strong for a few minutes then die. I ran without the silencer and cowl to check...

    Question about timing procedure, 1988 evinrude 60hp

    I checked timing according to the timing procedure thread in top secret file, according to said procedure it is 3 degrees advanced, showing 18. The full throttle advance should be 19 +/- 1 if it were running in the water, so 15 according to the top secret timing procedure math. I will of...

    '88 evinrude 60, lean upper carb?

    Cleaned carbs...several times. Repaired fuel line leak, but top carb on my 1988 evinrude 60 is still running lean...what next? It was sneezing a little on the flush muffs but stopped in the water. After a little run at high speed I checked the temp and all heads and the thermostat housing...

    Prop shaft goop?!

    I think I already know what needs to be done, but wanted to throw it out there to make sure. Went to clean the boat up sunday morning and beneath the skeg I find this little circle of goop. I'm pretty sure it is my lower unit lube seeping out around the prop shaft, but just wanted to check...

    Alarm! Evinrude 60hp, 1988

    Any ideas on a "beep...beep" sequence alarm on a new to me 1988 Evinrude 60? It is a freshwater motor with great compression (140psi) on all three cyl. Great water going through the thing, new waterpump, new plugs and carb kits. I was told that the VRO was disconnected and it is capped off on...

    1995 90hp alarm

    Just bought a 17' key west cc with a 1995 90hp. Everything is super clean, however when first starting from cold an alarm starts going off after a couple minutes, and if you rev the motor a little the alarm beeping speeds up a little in sync with revs. There is a temp gauge that shows normal...

    Weak tell tale, plenty out of exhaust relief

    I have a 1990 70hp johnson that has a very weak tell tale, but I just did the impeller and housing about 10 hours ago. Lots of water comes out of the exhaust relief ports just above waterline on the middle section of the motor and water at the prop. Is this something I should worry about? I...

    Correct Carbs on 1990 Johnson 70?

    The sequence E 0431983 is stamped in the top of the carb body of all three carbs on my 1990 Johnson 70hp, can anything be derived from this number to tell me if these are the correct carbs? The reason I ask is they have a much larger high speed jet than what is spec'd. I'm wondering if they...

    Carb rebuild, I discovered much larger than spec high speed orifice plug

    1990 Johnson 70 hp, vro disconnected, using premix-50:1 Symptoms are that it starts and idles fine, upon throttling up the engine starts to do what feels like a violent miss. I explained this to dealer they said sounds lean, rebuild carbs. If I throttle back and turn the engine off then back...

    running rough when throttling up

    I have a 1990 70hp johnson on a renegade flats boat that runs rough when you start to throttle up, intermittently. My neighbor is a car mechanic and he said it sounds like one of the carb floats is stuck and causing that cylinder to run real lean. It sounds like a 2-stroke dirt bike until you...
