    76 Johnson 15 HP

    Here is how I remember. When in the boat and looking forward the left side is the port side. Both "left" and "port" have 4 letters. Starboard and right do not match. Easy way to remember.

    1992 Evinrude 150 Oceanpro

    Shouldn't run it until alarm is hooked up. With missing t-stats there is a good possibility there was an issue. Temp sensor comes out of the back of the head....note wire color. I was thinking of an IR gun like this.

    1992 Evinrude 150 Oceanpro

    Engine was designed to have t-stats. Perhaps you have some clogged passageways. Do you have any temp readings of each head? Is your overheat alarm working?

    Carburetor tuning on muffs

    Might want to start all over with idle screws. Start 1 1/2 out from lightly seated. Then adjust each one. Then get it on the water and bomb around a little if it's running ok. Then dial in the carbs again for low idle fuel mixture.

    Lol, no problem. At this point hook up some fuel and water and see what is does? Without the plug in you will have to figure a way to kill it.

    What to jump on old Johnson 65HP

    Doesn't this motor have a main wiring harness plug back at the motor? If so unplug it, hook up your spark tester and jump the soloniod. That should produce spark. By the way....that tri hull weighs more than 500 lbs.

    1978 evinrude 70hp model 70873 problem

    Everything looks ok....when it over rev'd did it sound like it was over revving? Might have an electrical issue that made the tach read incorrectly and bog the motor down.
