    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    Put in the gasket between the plastic pump body and the plate hoping this would solve the problem. Put the lower in the water tank with the drill on the top of the driveshaft; no water pumping.

    Part # for the gasket at the bottom of the plastic pump?

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    You asked me about a half hour ago to confirm that I have a 79 6 hp pump . It's pitch black out here and I have limited time periods to work on the motor. A response in a half hour; for real? You say I can't see your motor. Neither can I as it's night and the motor is outside. As for the...

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    Does the driveshaft just pop out and pop back in? I'm not reluctant; I just don't know. I'm not an outboard mechanic. What I've learned or not learned is amateur experience with different models over the years; a hobby, not a business. Why would I be mysterious (what info?) when I'm just...

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    The biggest problem if I add the gasket is I have to remove the pump housing from the driveshaft. This means that I have to remove the roll pin which will probably break. They are a pain to take out and a pain to add and very delicate.

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    Racerone: I think you're saying that I should add the gasket that I thought didn't belong. Do you have a part # for that gasket.

    Crosbyman: I though what you said about a defective / spin off the body impeller. That was going to be my next move.

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    Racerone: You mention a gasket (at base of water pump?) Uh Oh: There was one there (kinda beat) but not in the diagrams I've seen of the motor. I thought someone added it by mistake. I'm now picturing that it does need one and (cleaned up the remnants) I didn't add one. ????????

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    I took Sea Rider's advice. Opened up the plate below the water pump (didn't do that before) and found some gunk but not what I would consider to block any flow. Cleaned it out completely including the underside of the pump plate. Checked passages in the leg with wire and pouring water. They...

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    I think Crosbyman has a good idea for a starter. I'll try that will an electric drill on the driveshaft if I can't figure anything else out. I thank everyone for the suggestions and interest and help.

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    Copper tube never came out of the upper grommet. I was going to replace it but it appears intact and the rubber looks good. A tight fit. No signs of blockage or leakage at that point.

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    It's well over 8 inches. It's close to the coolant exhaust. I was worried that I had too much water in the barrel (rain) and wouldn't be able to feel the coolant water flow.

    58 evinrude 7.5 cooling problem

    My 58 Evinrude 7.5 seemed to be running a bit hot so I decided to replace the pump/impeller. When I opened it I found the pump looked good. It's a plastic pump body that had apparently been a replacement. I opted for just a new impeller (pump expensive). Put a new rubber grommet on the water...

    1963 Eska Golden Arrow flywheel key

    Lost spark on my rarely used Eska Golden Arrow. Figured time for a tune-up. Put in a new coil, condenser, and points. Got spark and thought I was done but noticed the flywheel key was broken just as I was about to close it up. That was probably the problem all along. Anyway, anyone have an...

    It's either a Clinton or an Eska; my best guess

    81 Johnson 7.5 driveshaft stuck

    You are right on the money. Motor used little and serviced even less because it was a great runner. However, the manufacturer should have lubricated the top of the shaft. If they had the motors would probably not be in the predicament they are now. Funny how older motors (50's and 60's and...

    81 Johnson 7.5 driveshaft stuck

    I cannot get the shaft off my motor at either end. Tried soaking (for a couple years) with penetrating oil the best I could get in what small space I had. No luck. Others seem to have a problem but only at the powerhead end. If I could get the lower unit to release I might have better luck...
