    Stripped the filler thread, best fix?

    So I pulled out the filler plug to check the fluid level and it came out ok. I put it back and slightly (barely) tightened it and all the threads came out. Now I wonder how to fix it so the seal is tight and it does not leak water. I'd prefer to do it without taking the leg apart. Can I put a...

    Replcing trim sensor question

    OMC / Volvo SX leg (1995) So mine is bad it I found the one the I think will work. From what I found on this forum, one has 2 wires and one 3 but they are essentially the same. So ordered the 3 wire and will just use the 2 needed. Here is the question: It is a PITA to get the wire out and new...

    Omc v8 water in oil

    Water can run but it is a waste of water. If you have a crack in the cylinder wall like mine had, it would only suck in water under pressure when the water pump starts circulating the water around the block. Of course you need your engine running for that. Check around the block and see if any...

The original manual states to use W30 oil and to stay away from the multi grade 5w-30 or 10w-30 oils Of course the local auto parts store does not carry anything W30...

    Hi, so I have that engine, code: 502APHUE Was trying to setup the timing, on the label is says 10 degree but I can't see any degree on the fly wheel, just two paint marks and one faint mark that looks like some one made with a nail. You guy got any idea? I got a picture of the wheel as well as...

    5.0 OMC Engine not running, no fiel?

    The pump has a build in rod that goes inside the engine and the engine block inside has some offset wheel that looks like would act on the rod pushing it up every revolution. I did not detach the rod from the pump, just unbolt and bolt one the pump itself. Did not really see a way to align...

    5.0 OMC Engine not running, no fiel?

    So got my 1995 OCM 502APHUE back together and was testing it over the weekend. If I put the fuel from a canister directly into carburetor it will start and run for a bit while the fuel is used up. And it will keep on starting and running for a bit if I keep on adding the fuel into the carb, but...

    omc 3868156 sending unit

    Hi, I have 1995 omc 3868156, 1.66 outdrive. From my understanding it is similar to Volvo SX, but which one? SX-M or SX-A? My Trim gauge is only moving 1/4 on the full range of the drive going up and down so I'm thinking of replacing a sending unit. I wonder which part fits, 22005045 or 3849411...

    OMC 302 tune up parts. OEM VS GLM

    Hi, just for tune up reasons thinking of replacing cap and rotor on my 1995 302. I see two choices, OEM cap and rotor, parts 3853815/3853801 that run about $50 or getting a GLM 71730 kit that also includes a new condenser and points plus cap and rotor for about $35. For the price GLM seems to be...

    So got a new to me boat with unknown history. The current engine is starting and running but with light knocking, I can see two temporary freezer plugs as well as one plug 1/4 way pushed out. I changed oil and at first about 2 litters of clear water leaked out followed by a light grey/brown...

I'd say about an inch is missing from one blade. it was still attached when I took it out but broke of when...

    Submerged Engine - Honda 2Hp

    Hi, so I'm new to the outboards and a friend gave me his old 2hp Honda to be used as a kicker in case of emergency. He is not sure on the history but it came on his boat. It ran for a few run time hours and then just would not start. He took it to the shop and was told that it was previously...

    Speedometer pickup is plugged on a 1991 / 140

    Hi, I took a look at the lower leg and can see that speedometer pickup seems to be plugged good. It must have been like this for a while as I found the speedo cable is disconnected and all coiled up in the middle of the boat. I can't seem to find where this cable is suppose to connect to on the...

    Hi, I just recently got this 91 140hp Evinrude and would like to add a tach but not sure how. I see this cable on the engine and wonder is this is what it is or am I looking at a wrong place? And if I am looking at the wrong place, what is this cable for and where is the right place? Attached is...
