    Disconnecting "syringe primer" 1986 8HP BE8BACDE.

    I am trying to remove the Powerhead but first need to disconnect this Choke linkage , etc. I have removed the slot head Set Screw but linkage doesn't slide apart as I would have expected. I don't want to use too much force as this might damage the internals of the (not used for many Model...

    BE8BACDE exploded view diagrams needed.

    I picked up cheap (for parts) a locked-up Belgian-made Evinrude 8hp. It looks very similar to 2 other 1984/1985 6hp motors that I have, but it has 2 unique features: 1) a 12Volt accessory plug in the Lower Engine Cover (would be cool if I could retrofit one of my other motors with this...

    Minn Kota Transom Mount Motor Transom Clamp and Washer.

    I am fixing two 2005 manufactured Endura 50 motors where previous owner removed the 5 Speed Switch 2064028 and ran the motors at a single speed by splicing appropriate wires together. While connecting 6 wires to new switches I am having trouble obtaining appropriately-sized Female Spade Quick...

    Carb removal 1998 8hp Evinrude E8RECR.

    This outboard is leaking fuel out of the screen on righthand (starboard) side of carburetor when the Primer Bulb is pumped (and even a bit while running). I strongly suspect a stuck Carb Float. What is the easiest way to remove the Carb? Do I need to remove the Breather Box and the Top Cover...

    Installing a new Water Pump and am having trouble inserting Impeller Housing to Driveshaft Seal 318972 into the Impeller Housing and Seal Assembly 388289. This seems to be a REALLY tight fit. The Seal 318972 has a nice chamber on the topside outside diameter but unfortunately the underside...

    This is a continuation of a Topic I started on 8/4/2019 with most recent posting on 8/19/2019 (moderators please tell me if I should have continued or linked to original thread ). Sorry to leave Joe Reeves and any other folks in suspense about what dimensions this Carburetor has. After an 8...

    E6RCOB leaks when upended?

    During recent move to anot6 state my 1985 6HP Evinrude laid tiller side down in my SUV for about 3 days. The powehead was slightly higher than lower unit. As I removed this outboard from my SUV, first I rotated it to be Pull Starter/tiller upward, and I may have lifted the lower unit slightly...

    Resistance while Rotating Flywheel 1990 4hp Evinrude E4RESR.

    While going the next step in debug of Fouled Plugs condition (see separate Topic I started yesterday on that) I noticed that with both Spark Plugs removed the flywheel is hard to turn at 2 different rotational positions. As a sanity check, on another motor I have (4R75A Johnson 1975 4hp) I...

    My Evinrude E4RESR has some degree of fouling that I would like to take preventive action against. Engine has been running Champion QL77JC4. I also see Optional plugs listed are QL86C or NGK BZ7HS-10. What is a good (slightly hotter) sparkplug to replace the QL77JC4? I would think next...

    Spark plug wires and boot 1975 Johnson 4hp.

    What is best way to reconnect spark plug wire and boot on my 4R75A Johnson? In process of selling this motor a prospective buyer had the 2 spark plug wires out of place as he actuated the cowling lock. Now one boot is off and other wire has a nick in it. Will electrical tape be sufficient to...

    1969 Johnson 6hp Carb leaking fuel.

    My 6R69M ran fine a couple months ago when put into storage. I use only non-ethanol fuel. Yesterday firing it up in water tank carb spewed fuel from front right side when I squeezed the fuel bulb (sorry my photo exceeds Size Limit--I can't post). I disconnected fuel line, mopped up excess fuel...

    6R69M Thermostat Cap Leak

    On my 1969 Johnson 6HP 6R69M after replacing my Thermostat and doing a thorough cleanout of saltwater residue/crud (due to decomposed Impeller, which I also replaced) there is a leak between my Thermostat Housing Cap 312714 and the Cylinder Head. (Good news is that the Impeller is pushing a...

    Drive shaft pops up during Lower Unit Pressure Test 1985 6hp E6RCOB.

    Due to a broken skeg (which occurred before I bought this outboard) I am thinking of replacing the Gearcase Housing Assembly. There seems to be slight milkish Gear Oil and some water after running with new gear oil in a tank for a just few minutes (to check the Thermostat/PeeStream). It is...

    Best way to flush old fuel line and bulb.

    I recently acquired a very nice freshwater-only metal OMC fuel tank complete with Fuel Line, bulb, 2 fittings and about 1 quart of old fuel. This is a Model 3 (Belgium-made?) vintage I thought around 1998. Although CSA Sticker on the tank shows 2389 (would this be Date Code 23rd week of 1989?)...

    Best Water Pump for 6hp 1969 6R69M Johnson.

    Working on overheat problem (see separate/closed thread on Stuck Head Bolts) I discovered my 5 year old pump impeller was really demolished. To my surprise, my Water Pump Housing is 323596 with Metal Water Pump Liner 324641 and Impeller 763735 and Plate 323597 as would be standard for newer...

    1986 Johnson J10RCDB not achieving high RPM--wrong carburator?

    I recently became the proud (at least third) owner of this outboard. It starts and runs OK at low/medium RPM but won't get to full throttle consistently. Previous owner I bought it from mentioned guy he bought it from may have tried to convert it to a 15hp (and has since lost contact with that...

    Yikes rusty spark plugs!

    Now that I got the jammed cover off my recently-purchased 1998 8hp E8RECR Evinrude I think it would be best to replace these Autolite 425 plugs. Outboard starts and runs fine but plugs are heavily rusted outside surface--worst I have ever owned, or possibly seen on a functioning outboard engine...
